Recording notes

From Part II (2001). A bouncy country song with clean, snappy electric guitar. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Crook Custom Paisley T through a Dr. Z Maz 18 Jr NR stands in. Set the amp clean with a little edge and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Wrapped Around" 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.
