From Hopiumforthemasses (2024). Hopiumforthemasses (a stylized spelling of Hopium for the Masses) is the sixteenth studio album by American industrial metal band Ministry, released on March 1, 2024. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Ministry's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.

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