Recording notes

From Jomsviking (2016). Jomsviking is the tenth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Amon Amarth's other songs from Jomsviking, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "One Against All" 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.
