From Strange Beautiful Music (2002). Strange Beautiful Music is the ninth studio album by guitarist Joe Satriani, released on 25 June 2002 by Epic Records. The album's personnel list credits Joe Satriani with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez JS1200 Joe Satriani through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Joe Satriani's other songs from Strange Beautiful Music, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup.

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