Recording notes

From Black Flame (2018). Black Flame is the fifth studio album by British metalcore band Bury Tomorrow. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD Viper-201B Baritone through an EVH 5150III 50W, the rig we use for Bury Tomorrow's other songs from Black Flame, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C).

Common Questions About the "Peacekeeper" Tone

  1. What guitar did Bury Tomorrow use on "Peacekeeper"?

    The guitar on "Peacekeeper" (released 2018) isn't documented; the ESP LTD Viper-201B Baritone above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C), so retune before you dial anything in.

  2. What amp settings does "Peacekeeper" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6.5, Mid 5, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, Volume 6. 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.

  3. Can I play "Peacekeeper" without the original gear?

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