From Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones (2013). A mid-tempo hard-rock song with thick, saturated rhythm guitar. A 2014 Premier Guitar rig piece has Jake Pitts on his Schecter signature C-1 FR and Jinxx on a Recluse-FR, both through Marshall JVM410H heads and 4x12s with a Kemper Profiler and no pedals, tuned down to dropped C# and C; that is a snapshot of one tour, not this recording. So a Schecter Jake Pitts C-1 FR into a Marshall JVM410H stands in. Set a medium-high crunch on the bridge pickup and keep the low end tight. Tuning isn't documented here.
Common Questions About the "Lost It All" Tone
What guitar did Black Veil Brides use on "Lost It All"?
The guitar on "Lost It All" (released 2013) isn't documented; the Schecter Jake Pitts C-1 FR above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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 "Lost It All" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Lost It All" 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.
