From A War You Cannot Win (2012). A War You Cannot Win is the sixth studio album by the American heavy metal band All That Remains. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson X Series Warrior WRX24 through a Peavey 5150 II, the rig we use for All That Remains' other songs from A War You Cannot Win, 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♯), a half step below drop C.

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