Recording notes

From The Great Heathen Army (2022). The Great Heathen Army is the twelfth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Amon Amarth's other songs from The Great Heathen Army, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

  1. What guitar did Amon Amarth use on "Get in the Ring"?

    The guitar on "Get in the Ring" (released 2022) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.

  3. Can I play "Get in the Ring" without the original gear?

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