From This Is All Yours (2014). This Is All Yours is the second album by English indie rock band Alt-J, released on 22 September 2014 through Infectious. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for alt-J's other songs from This Is All Yours, 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 "Every Other Freckle" 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.
