From V (2001). V is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Live, released in 2001. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Live's other songs from V, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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