From Omen (2010). Omen is the seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Soulfly. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Peavey 5150, the nearest rig we use for Soulfly's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 7, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 8. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Jeffrey Dahmer" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Jeffrey Dahmer" 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.
