From Mane Attraction (1991). Mane Attraction is the fourth studio album by the glam metal band White Lion. 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 Mane Attraction, 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 "Out with the Boys" 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.
