Recording notes

From Fight to Survive (1986). Fight to Survive is the debut studio album by the American glam metal band White Lion, released on January 21, 1986, by Victor Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR Mahogany through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for White Lion's other songs from Fight to Survive, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

  3. Can I play "All the Fallen Men" without the original gear?

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