From Us (1992). Us is the sixth studio album by English musician Peter Gabriel, released on 27 September 1992 by Real World Records and Geffen 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, the rig we use for Peter Gabriel's other songs from Us, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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