From The Great Execution (2011). The Great Execution is the eighth studio album by the Brazilian death metal band Krisiun, released on 31 October 2011 by Century Media. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Krisiun's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting 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 "Blood of Lions" 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.
