From Lenny (2001). Lenny is the sixth studio album by American rock musician Lenny Kravitz, released on 30 October 2001 by Virgin Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Lenny Kravitz's other songs from Lenny, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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