From The Woman in Me (1995). The Woman in Me is the second studio album by the Canadian country singer-songwriter Shania Twain, released on 7 February 1995 by PolyGram and Mercury Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Shania Twain's other songs from The Woman in Me, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "No One Needs to Know" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "No One Needs to Know" 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.
