Recording notes

From In the Heart of the Young (1990). In the Heart of the Young (also known as Winger II) is the second studio album by the American rock band Winger. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Pensa MK-1 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Winger's other songs from In the Heart of the Young, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

  3. Can I play "Under One Condition" without the original gear?

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