From Pawns & Kings (2022). Pawns & Kings is the seventh studio album by American rock band Alter Bridge. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Mark Tremonti through a PRS Mark Tremonti MT 100, the rig we use for Alter Bridge's other songs from Pawns & Kings, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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