From Meta (2016). Meta is the third album by the American mathcore band Car Bomb. The album was produced by Gojira's Joseph Duplantier and guitarist Greg Kubacki and released independently on digital and CD formats on 28 October 2016. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG7421 through a Fractal Audio Axe-FX III, the nearest rig we use for Car Bomb's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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