From YU Grupa (1973). YU Grupa is the debut studio album from Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band YU Grupa, released in 1973. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through a Marshall 1959HW Handwired Super Lead, the nearest rig we use for YU Grupa'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 "Crni leptir" 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.
