From We Stitch These Wounds (2010). Their debut studio album, it was released through StandBy Records on 20 July 2010. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig to the one documented for Black Veil Brides, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C♯ (C♯ G♯ C♯ F♯ A♯ D♯), which is drop D lowered a half step.

Can I play "Beautiful Remains" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Beautiful Remains" 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.
