From Underneath (2020). Underneath is the fourth studio album by American hardcore punk band Code Orange, released on March 13, 2020 through Roadrunner Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD Viper-1000 through an EVH 5150III 100W EL34 Head, the rig we use for Code Orange's other songs from Underneath, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "The Easy Way" (released 2020) isn't documented; the ESP LTD Viper-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6.5, Mid 4, Treble 7, Presence 6, Volume 7. 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 "The Easy Way" 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 Easy Way" 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.
