Recording notes

From Endangered Species (1997). Endangered Species is the eleventh studio album by American hard rock/heavy metal band Y&T, released in 1997 through the Music for Nations label. 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 Y&T'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 "Still Falling" 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.
