From Pleased to Meet Me (1987). Pleased to Meet Me is the fifth studio album by the American rock band the Replacements, released on March 3, 1987 by Sire Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Junior through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for The Replacements' other songs from Pleased to Meet Me, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the single pickup.

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