From Blind Rage (2014). Blind Rage is the 14th studio album by German heavy metal band Accept, released on 15 August 2014 by Nuclear Blast. The album's personnel list credits Wolf Hoffmann and Herman Frank with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Accept's other songs from Blind Rage, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "200 Years" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "200 Years" 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.
