Recording notes

From Eye of the Tiger (1982). Eye of the Tiger is the third studio album by American rock band Survivor, released on June 8, 1982. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Survivor's other songs from Eye of the Tiger, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "I'm Not That Man Anymore" 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.
