From Death in Venice Beach (2020). Death in Venice Beach is a studio album by The Bombpops. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Junior through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for The Bombpops' other songs from Death in Venice Beach, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the single pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Zero Remorse" 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.
