From Kisah Klasik Untuk Masa Depan (2001). Kisah Klasik Untuk Masa Depan (English: The Classic Story for the Future) is the second studio album by the Indonesian rock band Sheila on 7, released in April 2001 by Sony BMG Indonesia. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster (AVRI Reissue) through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Sheila on 7's other songs from Kisah Klasik Untuk Masa Depan, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6. 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.
Can I play "Sahabat Sejati" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Sahabat Sejati" 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.
