Recording notes

From The Fourth Dimension (1994). The Fourth Dimension is the third studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Hypocrisy, released on 25 October 1994. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Peavey 5150, the nearest rig we use for Hypocrisy's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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