Recording notes

From Tusk (1979). Tusk is the twelfth studio album by the British and American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 12 October 1979 by Warner Bros. Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Fleetwood Mac's other songs from Tusk, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

  1. What guitar did Fleetwood Mac use on "Over & Over"?

    The guitar on "Over & Over" (released 1979) isn't documented; the Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  3. Can I play "Over & Over" without the original gear?

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