From Eppur si muove (2004). Eppur si muove is the third full-length album by the German symphonic metal band Haggard. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, a driven progressive-metal pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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