From Infestation (2010). Infestation is the seventh and final studio album by American glam metal band Ratt, released on 20 April 2010 by Loud & Proud Records and Roadrunner Records. The album's personnel list credits Warren DeMartini and Carlos Cavazo with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH HT through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Ratt's other songs from Infestation, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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