From Siempre es hoy (2002). Siempre Es Hoy (Spanish for It is always today) is the third album by Argentine rock musician Gustavo Cerati, released by BMG International on 26 November 2002. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Gustavo Cerati's other songs from Siempre es hoy, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck and middle pickups together. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Amo dejarte así" 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.
