From G-Force (1980). G-Force is a 1980 studio album by the namesake Irish-American band led by Irish rock guitarist Gary Moore. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JTM45 2245 Reissue, the rig we use for Gary Moore's other songs from G-Force, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain 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 "Because of Your Love" 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.
