From 4-Way Diablo (2007). 4-Way Diablo is the seventh studio album by American rock band Monster Magnet, released in November 2007. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through an Orange Rockerverb 50 MkIII, the nearest rig we use for Monster Magnet's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-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 "Blow Your Mind" 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.
