From Heartbreak Station (1990). Heartbreak Station is the third studio album by American rock band Cinderella, released in 1990 through Mercury 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 rig we use for Cinderella's other songs from Heartbreak Station, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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