From Legend (2012). Legend is the fourth album by the Swedish occult rock band Witchcraft. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII, the rig we use for Witchcraft's other songs from Legend, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "An Alternative To Freedom" 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.
