Recording notes

From From Hell with Love (2019). From Hell with Love is the second studio album by Finnish heavy metal band Beast in Black, released on 8 February 2019. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Phil Demmel Demmelition King V through an EVH 5150III 100W, the rig we use for Beast in Black's other songs from From Hell with Love, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Common Questions About the "No Surrender" Tone

  1. What guitar did Beast in Black use on "No Surrender"?

    The guitar on "No Surrender" (released 2019) isn't documented; the Jackson Phil Demmel Demmelition King V above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

  2. What amp settings does "No Surrender" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, 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.

  3. Can I play "No Surrender" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "No Surrender" 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.
