The guitar on "Aqua Regia" (released 2023) isn't documented; the Strandberg Boden Fusion NX 7 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Can I play "Aqua Regia" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Aqua Regia" 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.
