From Guitarhythm VI (2019). Guitarhythm VI is a 2019 studio album by Tomoyasu Hotei. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1959 Telecaster Time Machine through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Tomoyasu Hotei's other songs, 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 "Lonely Wild" 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.
