From I Was Warned (1992). I Was Warned is a blues album by Robert Cray. It was released in April 1992 through Mercury Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Super Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Robert Cray's other songs from I Was Warned, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle+bridge pickups together. Standard tuning.

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