From Machine Gun (1974). Machine Gun is the debut studio album by the American funk and soul band Commodores, released on July 22, 1974 on Motown Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Commodores' other songs from Machine Gun, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

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