From Discovering the Waterfront (2005). Discovering the Waterfront is the second studio album by the Canadian post-hardcore band Silverstein. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Studio through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Silverstein's other songs from Discovering the Waterfront, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Fist Wrapped in Blood" 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.
