From Secret Society (2006). Secret Society is a studio album by the Swedish rock band Europe, released on 25 October 2006 by Sanctuary Records. The album's personnel list credits John Norum with guitars. 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 Europe's other songs from Secret Society, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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