From Guiding Lights (2014). Guiding Lights is the second studio album by progressive metal band Skyharbor, released on 10 November 2014 by Basick. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Skyharbor'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 "Guiding Lights" 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.
