From All Born Screaming (2024). All Born Screaming is the seventh studio album by American rock musician St. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Music Man St. Vincent through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for St. Vincent's other songs from All Born Screaming, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-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 "Sweetest Fruit" 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.
