From The Resistance: Rise of the Runaways (2014). The Resistance: Rise of The Runaways is the second studio album by American metalcore band Crown the Empire, released on 22 July 2014. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG1570 Prestige through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Crown the Empire's other songs from The Resistance: Rise of the Runaways, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Bloodline" Tone
What guitar did Crown the Empire use on "Bloodline"?
The guitar on "Bloodline" (released 2014) isn't documented; the Ibanez RG1570 Prestige above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Bloodline" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8.5, Bass 6.5, Mid 4.5, Treble 7, Presence 7, 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 "Bloodline" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Bloodline" 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.
