Recording notes

From Sloe Gin (2007). Sloe Gin is the sixth studio album by American blues rock musician Joe Bonamassa. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Joe Bonamassa Les Paul through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Joe Bonamassa's other songs from Sloe Gin, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Another Kind of Love" 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.
