Recording notes

From Rush! (2023). Their third studio album, co-written and partly co-produced by all four members of the band, it was released on 20 January 2023 through Epic Records and Sony Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig to the one documented for Måneskin, stands in. Set the amp to a driven crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Il dono della vita" 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.
