From Don't Touch the Light (1986). Don't Touch the Light is the first album by German hard rock band Bonfire, following its name change from Cacumen. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Bonfire's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "You Make Me Feel" 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.
