From Allegiance (2006). No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for As Blood Runs Black's other songs from Allegiance, 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).

What guitar did As Blood Runs Black use on "Legends Never Die"?
The guitar on "Legends Never Die" (released 2006) isn't documented; the ESP LTD EC-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop C (C G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.

Settings for this sound: Gain 8.5, 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.
Can I play "Legends Never Die" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Legends Never Die" 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.
