From ØMNI (2018). ØMNI is the ninth studio album by the Brazilian power metal band Angra. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez KIKO100 through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100, the nearest rig we use for Angra's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Black Widow's Web" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Black Widow's Web" 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.
