From Come Find Yourself (1996). Come Find Yourself is the debut studio album by the American band Fun Lovin' Criminals. The song's Wikipedia article says it samples the tremolo guitar from "Movement of Fear" by Tones on Tail. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, a clean, snappy funk pairing, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Scooby Snacks" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else.
