From The Stars Will Light the Way (2024). The Stars Will Light the Way is the fifteenth studio album by power metal band Galneryus. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP Crying Star through a Marshall JVM410H, the nearest rig we use for Galneryus' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.

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