From Que País É Este (1987). Que País É Este, subtitled 1978/1987, is the third studio album by Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana, released in 1987. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus, the rig we use for Legião Urbana's other songs from Que País É Este, stands in. Set the amp to a light 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 "Mais do Mesmo" 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.
