From Laskar Cinta (2004). Laskar Cinta is a 2004 studio album by Dewa 19. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Dewa 19's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

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