From The Black (2016). The Black is the fourth studio album by English rock band Asking Alexandria, released on 25 March 2016 by Sumerian Records. The album's personnel list credits Ben Bruce on lead guitar and Cameron Liddell on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Asking Alexandria's other songs from The Black, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Send Me Home" Tone
What guitar did Asking Alexandria use on "Send Me Home"?
The guitar on "Send Me Home" (released 2016) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Send Me Home" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, 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 "Send Me Home" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Send Me Home" 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.
