From Beyond Coma and Despair (2006). Beyond Coma and Despair is the third album by Indonesian metal band Burgerkill, released in 2006. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 5150, the nearest rig we use for Burgerkill's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

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