Recording notes

From Released (2016). Released is a 2016 album by the British blues guitarist Snowy White. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording. White told Guitar Player he used his goldtop Les Paul through a Vox AC30 on "Midnight Blues", so a Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue (Custom Shop) through a Vox AC30 C2 is the suggested rig. Set the amp to a clean, edge-of-breakup setting and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "How Was It for You" 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.
