From Metal Heart (1985). Metal Heart is the sixth studio album by German heavy metal band Accept, released in 1985. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Accept's other songs from Metal Heart, 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 "Wrong Is Right" 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.
