From For All Kings (2016). For All Kings is the eleventh studio album by American heavy metal band Anthrax, released on February 26, 2016. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RRT-3 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Anthrax's other songs from For All Kings, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.

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