From Cricklewood Green (1970). Cricklewood Green is the fourth studio album by English blues rock band Ten Years After, released on 17 April 1970 by Deram Records. The album's personnel list credits Alvin Lee with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Ten Years After's other songs from Cricklewood Green, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-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 "Me and My Baby" 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.
