From R.E.S.O.R.T. (1985). R.E.S.O.R.T. is the tenth studio album by Japanese Jazz fusion band T-Square, who was then called The Square. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus, the nearest rig we use for T-SQUARE's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light 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 "Omens of Love" 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.
