From The Other Side of the Mirror (1989). The Other Side of the Mirror is the fourth solo studio album by American singer and songwriter Stevie Nicks. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Stevie Nicks' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "Rooms on Fire" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Rooms on Fire" 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.
