From Vertikal (2013). Vertikal is the sixth studio album by Swedish post-metal band Cult of Luna, released on 25 January 2013 by Indie Recordings. The album's personnel list credits Fredrik Kihlberg, Erik Olofsson and Johannes Persson with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Blackjack SLS C-1 through an EVH 5150III 100W, the rig we use for Cult of Luna's other songs from Vertikal, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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