From Wheelhouse (2017). Wheelhouse is a 2017 studio album by Greg Howe. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II M-II Neck-Thru through a Fender The Twin, the nearest rig we use for Greg Howe's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-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 "Tempest Pulse" 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.
