From Everybody Is Going to Heaven (2015). Everybody Is Going to Heaven is the second studio album by American rock band Citizen. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Citizen's other songs from Everybody Is Going to Heaven, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Ring of Chain" (released 2015) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 4, Bass 5.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 5.5, Presence 4.5, 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.
Can I play "Ring of Chain" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Ring of Chain" 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.
