From Jaktens Tid (2001). Jaktens tid (English: "Time of the Hunt") is the second studio album by the Finnish folk metal band Finntroll, released on 18 September 2001 through Spinefarm Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Finntroll's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting 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 "Jaktens Tid" 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.
