From Resolution (2006). An instrumental rock album produced by Timmons and Mike Daane and recorded in 2005 and 2006, it was released on May 2, 2006. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez AT100CL Andy Timmons Classic through a Mesa Boogie Lone Star, the nearest rig to the one documented for Andy Timmons, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Ghost of You" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
