From What the Dead Men Say (2020). What the Dead Men Say is the ninth studio album by American heavy metal band Trivium. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Epiphone Les Paul Custom through an EVH 5150III 100W, the rig we use for Trivium's other songs from What the Dead Men Say, 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 "Bleed Into Me" 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.
