Recording notes

From Semenelin (1996). Semenelin is the second full-length studio album by Filipino rock band Wolfgang released in 1996 in the Philippines and 1997 internationally. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Wolfgang's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

  3. Can I play "Mata ng Diyos" without the original gear?

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