From Unbreakable (2004). Unbreakable is a studio album by the German hard rock band Scorpions, released on 22 June 2004 by BMG. The album's personnel list credits Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage '62 Stratocaster through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Scorpions' other songs from Unbreakable, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Remember the Good Times" 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.
