Recording notes

From Usar y Tirar (1996). Usar y Tirar is the third studio album by the Spanish rock band M-Clan, released on 15 March 1996 by DRO East West. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for M-Clan's other songs from Usar y Tirar, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Llamando a la tierra" 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.
