From Liebe macht Monster (2021). Liebe macht Monster (German for "love makes monsters"), sometimes also spelled Liebe Macht Monster ("Love, Power, Monsters"), is the eighth studio album by German Neue Deutsche Härte band Eisbrecher. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through an Engl Powerball II, the nearest rig we use for Eisbrecher's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch 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 "Im Guten im Bösen" 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.
