From In Schwarz (2014). In Schwarz is the second studio album by the German band Kraftklub, released on 12 September 2014 by Vertigo. 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 In Schwarz, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Wie ich" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Wie ich" 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.
