From Almería (2012). Almería is the sixth studio album by American alternative rock band Lifehouse, released on December 11, 2012, by Geffen Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Vox AC30 C2, the nearest rig we use for Lifehouse's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Between the Raindrops" 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.
