From Lenny (2001). Lenny is the sixth studio album by American rock musician Lenny Kravitz, released in October 2001 through 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 medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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