From Non calpestare i fiori nel deserto (1995). Non calpestare i fiori nel deserto is the fourteenth studio album by the Italian singer-songwriter Pino Daniele, released on 25 March 1995 by CGD East West. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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