From And Their Name Was Treason (2005). And Their Name Was Treason is the debut studio album by the American rock band A Day to Remember, released on May 10, 2005 through Indianola Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS SE Custom 24 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for A Day to Remember's other songs from And Their Name Was Treason, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

Can I play "A Second Glance" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "A Second Glance" 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.
