From Powerlight (1983). Powerlight is the twelfth studio album by American band Earth, Wind & Fire, released in February 1983 by Columbia 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 nearest rig we use for Earth, Wind & Fire's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle pickup.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Fall in Love with Me" 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.
