From Lunacy (2000). Lunacy is the seventh studio album by Japanese rock band Luna Sea, released on July 12, 2000. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Luna Sea's other songs from Lunacy, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck and bridge pickups together. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Tonight" Tone
What guitar did Luna Sea use on "Tonight"?
The guitar on "Tonight" (released 2000) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck + bridge (position 3 / out-of-phase) on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Tonight" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5, Volume 6. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Tonight" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Tonight" 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.
