From Strike Whilst the Iron Is Hot (2005). Strike Whilst the Iron Is Hot is a studio album by the Filipino rock band Orange and Lemons, released on 24 March 2005 by Universal Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Pinoy Ako" (released 2005) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

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