From One Kill Wonder (2003). One Kill Wonder is the third studio album by Swedish heavy metal band The Haunted, released on 17 February 2003 by Earache Records. The album's personnel list credits Anders Björler on lead guitar and Patrik Jensen on guitar, with Michael Amott adding a guitar solo on "Bloodletting". No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a common rig for this kind of sound, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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