From Máquina de sangre (2003). Máquina de sangre (Blood machine) is the sixth studio album by Argentine rock band Los Piojos, released in 2003. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Standard Stratocaster through a Fender Bassman 100, the nearest rig we use for Los Piojos' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

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