From Temple of Shadows (2004). Temple of Shadows is the fifth studio album by the Brazilian power metal band Angra, released on September 6, 2004 by Paradoxx Music in Brazil and SPV Steamhammer in the rest of the world. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez KIKO100 through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100, the rig we use for Angra's other songs from Temple of Shadows, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

The guitar on "Wishing Well" (released 2004) isn't documented; the Ibanez KIKO100 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Wishing Well" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Wishing Well" 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.
