Recording notes

From All Things Must Pass (1970). His third studio album, produced by Harrison and Phil Spector at EMI, Trident and Apple studios in London between May and October 1970, it was released on Apple in November 1970. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender George Harrison Rocky Stratocaster (Signature) through a Fender '65 Super Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig to the one documented for George Harrison, stands in. Set the amp to a clean, lightly driven tone 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 "I'd Have You Anytime" 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.
