From Bleed Out (2023). Bleed Out is the eighth studio album by the Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation, released on 20 October 2023 by Force Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Within Temptation's other songs from Bleed Out, 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 "Worth Dying For" 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.
