Recording notes

From Engines of Demolition (2026). Engines of Demolition is the twelfth 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 Engines of Demolition, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Ozzy's Song" 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.
