From Death by Sexy (2006). Death by Sexy is the second album by the American rock group Eagles of Death Metal. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Eagles of Death Metal's other songs from Death by Sexy, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "I Like to Move in the Night" 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 Like to Move in the Night" 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.
