From No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims (1989). No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims is the third (and first international) studio album by Danish rock band D-A-D. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for D-A-D's other songs from No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5, 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 "Rim of Hell" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Rim of Hell" 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.
