From Pawns & Kings (2022). Their seventh studio album, produced by Michael Baskette and recorded in spring 2022, it was released on 14 October 2022 via Napalm Records. 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 nearest rig to the one documented for Alter Bridge, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C♯ (C♯ G♯ C♯ F♯ A♯ D♯), which is drop D lowered a half step.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Sin After Sin" 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.
