From Doom Crew Inc. (2021). Doom Crew Inc. is the eleventh studio album by American heavy metal band Black Label Society. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Black Label Society's other songs from Doom Crew Inc., stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Forever and a Day" Tone
What guitar did Black Label Society use on "Forever and a Day"?
The guitar on "Forever and a Day" (released 2021) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Custom above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Forever and a Day" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, 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.
Can I play "Forever and a Day" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Forever and a Day" 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.
