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 Active humbuckers (EMG 81 / Fishman Fluence Modern) for tight, saturated drop-tuned distortion, the amp EQ above (gain 7.5, bass 5, mid 5.5, treble 6.5, presence 6, reverb 3), and Mesa Dual Rectifier-style high-gain amp (Neural DSP Archetype: Gojira studio; Kemper Triple Rectifier profile live), Overdrive boost (~9, tightens the low end), Boss NS-2 noise gate (tight gating for drop-tuned high gain), Subtle delay (~4) & reverb (~3) for space. Then let GuitarToneAdapt compensate for the guitar, amp and pedals you actually own so it sits like the record.
