From Wasteland (2018). Wasteland is the fifth studio album by English heavy rock band Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Fender '59 Bassman LTD Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "I See Through You" 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.
