From Skyforger (2009). Skyforger is the ninth 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 rig we use for Amorphis' other songs from Skyforger, 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.
Common Questions About the "Sky Is Mine" Tone
What guitar did Amorphis use on "Sky Is Mine"?
The guitar on "Sky Is Mine" (released 2009) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Custom above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in D Standard (D G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.

Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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.
Can I play "Sky Is Mine" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Sky Is Mine" 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.
