From Vena Sera (2007). Vena Sera is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Chevelle, released on April 3, 2007, through Epic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Mark IV, the rig we use for Chevelle's other songs from Vena Sera, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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