From Static Age (1996). Static Age is a studio album by American horror punk band Misfits, recorded in 1978, released on 27 February 1996 by Caroline Records. The album's personnel list credits Franché Coma with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Misfits' other songs from Static Age, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-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 "Spinal Remains" 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.
