From Legendary Tales (1997). Rhapsody's debut album, produced by Sascha Paeth and Miro and recorded in April and May 1997 at Gate Studio in Wolfsburg, released on October 27, 1997. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez S Standard S570AH through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig to the one Rhapsody of Fire is documented with, stands in. Set the amp to a driven 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 "Warrior of Ice" 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.
