From Lain Dunia (1999). Lain Dunia is a studio album by the Indonesian rock band Padi, released on 9 December 1999 by Sony Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Padi's other songs from Lain Dunia, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Seperti Kekasihku" 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.
