From Revenge (1986). Revenge is the fifth studio album by the British pop duo Eurythmics, released on 30 June 1986 by RCA Records in the United Kingdom and on 14 July in the United States. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Eurythmics' other songs from Revenge, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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