From Hell or High Water (2009). Hell or High Water is the third full-length album by Christian indie rock band As Cities Burn. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for As Cities Burn's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Into the Sea" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Into the Sea" 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.
