That is the real review.

“Six months in, still using it weekly. That is the real review.”
“No fluff. Pick song, pick gear, get numbers. This is how software should be.”
“Cheap enough that I stopped thinking about whether it was worth it. It just is.”
From the record to your rig
Every tone traced to its sources
57 records in the library, each one checked against published sources for the guitar, the amp and the pedals, and clear about any part of the rig that was never documented. Then translated to whatever you own.
Master of Puppets
Metallica
DISTORTED · RIFF · 1980s
The sound
Scooped mids, razor-tight palm-muted chug
The rig behind it
Adapt it to your gear →James Hetfield's Jackson King V through a Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ used as a preamp into Marshall heads and 4x12 cabinets, recorded with Flemming Rasmussen at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen
November Rain
Guns N' Roses
DISTORTED · SOLO · 1990s
The sound
Singing neck-pickup lead with silky sustain
The rig behind it
Adapt it to your gear →Slash's Les Paul into the Marshall JCM800 2203 modified by Frank Levi and known as #34, the amp behind his tone from Use Your Illusion onwards, with the solo worked up from an improvisation

CLEAN · SOLO · 1970s
The sound
Glassy in-between Strat quack, fingerstyle snap
The rig behind it
Adapt it to your gear →Mark Knopfler's 1961 Fender Stratocaster with its three-way selector jammed between two positions, into a Fender Twin by his own account, recorded at Basing Street Studios in London in February 1978

Bedroom volume settings are a separate problem and this actually accounts for it. Everything else on the internet assumes you can push a 100 watt head.

I run a small guitar shop and I show this to customers who are stuck between two amps. It explains the difference better than I can in a busy shop.

Got a proper Peter Green out of position tone out of a fairly ordinary Epiphone. Still slightly shocked.

The gear pages have real specs on them now, wattage and speaker and all that. I used one to decide which amp to buy secondhand.

Name the song, the guitar, and the amp. That's what other players need to know.
