From Universal Pulse (2011). Universal Pulse is the tenth studio album by American rock band 311. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Standard 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for 311's other songs from Universal Pulse, 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 "Count Me In" 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.
