From Cher (1987). Cher is the eighteenth studio album by American singer-actress Cher, released on November 10, 1987, by Geffen Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Cher's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "I Found Someone" (released 1987) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Can I play "I Found Someone" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "I Found Someone" 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.
