From Battle Beast (2013). No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JVM410H, the nearest rig we use for Battle Beast's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Out of Control" Tone

The guitar on "Out of Control" (released 2013) isn't documented; the ESP LTD EC-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

Settings for this sound: Gain 8.5, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 7, Presence 7, Volume 8. 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 "Out of Control" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Out of Control" 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.
