Recording notes

From Rock On (1971). Rock On is the fourth album by the English rock group Humble Pie, released in March 1971 by A&M Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Humble Pie's other songs from Rock On, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Red Neck Jump" 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.
