Recording notes

From See the Light (1988). See the Light is the debut album by the Jeff Healey Band, released in 1988. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Standard Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for The Jeff Healey Band's other songs from See the Light, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

  1. What guitar did The Jeff Healey Band use on "My Little Girl"?

    The guitar on "My Little Girl" (released 1988) isn't documented; the Fender American Standard Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

    Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 6, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 8. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.

  3. Can I play "My Little Girl" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "My Little Girl" 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.
