Recording notes

From Fruto Proibido (1975). Fruto Proibido ('Forbidden Fruit') is the fourth studio album by Brazilian musician Rita Lee and the second with the band Tutti Frutti, released on 30 June 1975 through the label Som Livre. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Rita Lee's other songs from Fruto Proibido, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

  1. What guitar did Rita Lee use on "Agora só falta você"?

    The guitar on "Agora só falta você" (released 1975) isn't documented; the Gibson ES-335 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

  2. What amp settings does "Agora só falta você" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 5.5. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.

  3. Can I play "Agora só falta você" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Agora só falta você" 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.
