From Los Hermanos (1999). Los Hermanos is the debut studio album by the Brazilian rock band Los Hermanos, released in 1999 by Abril Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Los Hermanos' other songs from Los Hermanos, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Tenha Dó" (released 1999) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

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