From Idle Moments (1965). Idle Moments is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green recorded in 1963 and released on the Blue Note label in 1965. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-175 through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Grant Green's other songs from Idle Moments, stands in. Set the amp clean, with the gain barely up and use the neck pickup.

Can I play "Jean de Fleur" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Jean de Fleur" 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.
