From This Is Exile (2008). This Is Exile is the second studio album by American deathcore band Whitechapel. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Whitechapel's other songs from This Is Exile, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A (A E A D F♯ B).

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