From Murdered Love (2012). Murdered Love is the eighth studio album by American Christian metal band P.O.D., released on 10 July 2012 by Razor & Tie. The album's personnel list credits Marcos Curiel on lead guitar and Wuv Bernardo on rhythm guitar. 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 rig we use for P.O.D.'s other songs from Murdered Love, 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 "Murdered Love" 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.
