From Night Eternal (2008). Night Eternal is the eighth studio album by Portuguese gothic metal band Moonspell, released on 16 May 2008 in Europe and on 10 June 2008 in North America. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Moonspell's other songs from Night Eternal, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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