From Elizium (1990). Elizium is the third studio album by English gothic rock band Fields of the Nephilim. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gretsch Tennessean through a Roland JC-160 Jazz Chorus, the nearest rig we use for Fields of the Nephilim's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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