From Theory of a Deadman (2002). Theory of a Deadman is the debut studio album by the Canadian rock band Theory of a Deadman, released on 17 September 2002 by 604. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Theory of a Deadman's other songs from Theory of a Deadman, 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 "Make Up Your Mind" 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.
