From A Higher Place (2009). A Higher Place is the debut studio album by American progressive metalcore band Born of Osiris. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Born of Osiris' other songs, 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).

What guitar did Born of Osiris use on "Now Arise"?
The guitar on "Now Arise" (released 2009) isn't documented; the ESP LTD EC-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop C (C G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Now Arise" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8.5, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. 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 "Now Arise" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Now Arise" 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.
