From One More Time... (2023). A melodic, mid-tempo pop-punk song with bright, driving guitar over a chiming lead line. Equipboard's page for the album shows Tom DeLonge's Fender Jazzmaster fitted with a single Gibson 500T humbucker as a secondary rhythm guitar in the sessions, and Premier Guitar has his 2023 tour amps built on a jumpered Marshall plexi and a Soldano X88-IR. The rig on this recording isn't documented, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster into a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue stands in. Set a light-to-medium crunch on the bridge pickup and dig in harder for the louder sections. The rest of the album is in standard tuning, so that is assumed here.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "More Than You Know" 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.
