From Gravity (2018). A modern metalcore track with tight, palm-muted riffs and a soaring chorus lead. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a tight, high-gain tone. Tuning isn't documented here.

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