From Divisions (2019). Divisions is the third studio album by American rock band Starset. It was released on September 13, 2019. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through an EVH 5150III 100W, the rig we use for Starset's other songs from Divisions, 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 "Where the Skies End" 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.
