From A Nod Is as Good as a Wink... to a Blind Horse (1971). A Nod Is As Good As a Wink... to a Blind Horse, also released as A Nod's As Good As a Wink... to a Blind Horse, is the third album by British rock group Faces, and their second album of 1971. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Zemaitis Disc Front (Metal Front) through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Faces' other songs from A Nod Is as Good as a Wink... to a Blind Horse, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Love Lives Here" 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.
