From Schizo Deluxe (2005). Schizo Deluxe is the eleventh studio album by Canadian heavy metal band Annihilator, released on November 8, 2005, by AFM Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK2 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Annihilator's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Too Far Gone" 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.
