From Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex (2019). Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex is the third studio album by the British power metal band Gloryhammer. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez DTT700 Destroyer through a Marshall JVM410H, the rig we use for Gloryhammer's other songs from Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Masters of the Galaxy" 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.
