Recording notes

From Far from the Sun (2003). Far from the Sun is the sixth studio album by Finnish progressive metal band Amorphis. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the nearest rig we use for Amorphis' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.

  3. Can I play "Day of Your Beliefs" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Day of Your Beliefs" 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.
