From Mit K (2012). Mit K is the debut studio album by the German band Kraftklub, released on 20 January 2012 by Universal. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Kraftklub's other songs from Mit K, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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