From Unsung Heroes (2012). Unsung Heroes is a 2012 studio album by Ensiferum. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson USA Select Kelly KE2 through a Fractal Audio Axe-FX II, the rig we use for Ensiferum's other songs from Unsung Heroes, 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 "Burning Leaves" 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.
