From Vertigo (2004). Vertigo is the debut solo album by American guitarist John 5, released on August 31, 2004. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender John 5 Ghost Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for John 5's other songs from Vertigo, 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 "Feisty Cadavers" 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.
