From Psycho City (1992). Psycho City is the sixth studio album by the American hard rock band Great White, released on September 14, 1992. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Great White's other songs from Psycho City, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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