From Angel or Alien (2021). Angel or Alien is the sixth studio album by American progressive metalcore band Born of Osiris, released on July 2, 2021 through Sumerian Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, a saturated death-metal pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Threat of Your Presence" 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.
