From Dance Devil Dance (2023). Dance Devil Dance is the ninth studio album by Swedish heavy metal band Avatar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RGD61AL Axion Label through a Kemper Profiler Rack, the rig we use for Avatar's other songs from Dance Devil Dance, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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.
