From From Beale Street to Oblivion (2007). From Beale Street to Oblivion is the eighth full-length studio album by American rock band Clutch. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through an Orange OR120, the rig we use for Clutch's other songs from From Beale Street to Oblivion, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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