From Torn Arteries (2021). Torn Arteries is the seventh studio album by English extreme metal band Carcass. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a B.C. Rich Mockingbird Legacy through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Carcass' other songs from Torn Arteries, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯).

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