Yes. Different guitars and amps need different knob positions to sound the same. GuitarToneAdapt models pickup output and wood brightness, then compensates so you match the record on your own rig.
Start with Humbuckers (Gibson/Epiphone Les Paul) with heavy strings for thick, low-tuned chug, the amp EQ above (gain 6.5, bass 5, mid 6.5, treble 6.5, presence 6, reverb 2), and Klon Centaur overdrive (the core of the recorded tone; Fulltone OCD live), Marshall JCM800 amp distortion (modded), JTM45 for cleans, Noise gate for tight low-tuned chugs, Reverb/delay + synth layers for the electronic atmosphere. Then let GuitarToneAdapt compensate for the guitar, amp and pedals you actually own so it sits like the record.
