Recording notes

From Say You Will (2003). Say You Will is the seventeenth and final studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 15 April 2003. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Rick Turner Model 1 through a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface), the rig we use for Fleetwood Mac's other songs from Say You Will, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the single pickup. Standard tuning.

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