Recording notes

From Ricks Road (1993). Ricks Road is the third album by Scottish rock band Texas. The album was released on 1 November 1993 by Mercury Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Texas' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "So in Love with 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.
