From Liberate the Unborn Inhumanity (2022). Liberate the Unborn Inhumanity is the eighth studio album by Finnish melodic death metal band Mors Principium Est, released on 8 April 2022 via AFM Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Mors Principium Est's other songs, 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 "The Animal Within" 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.
