From The Scythe (2007). The Scythe is the fourth studio album by Italian folk metal band Elvenking. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through an Engl Fireball 100, the nearest rig we use for Elvenking's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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