From Bare Trees (1972). Bare Trees is the sixth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released in March 1972. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue through an Orange AD30, the rig we use for Fleetwood Mac's other songs from Bare Trees, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

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