From New Found Power (2004). New Found Power is the only studio album released by the American heavy metal supergroup Damageplan. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Washburn Dime Stealth through a Randall RG100ES, the rig we use for Damageplan's other songs from New Found Power, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C).
Common Questions About the "Moment of Truth" Tone
What guitar did Damageplan use on "Moment of Truth"?
The guitar on "Moment of Truth" (released 2004) isn't documented; the Washburn Dime Stealth above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Moment of Truth" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 4, 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 "Moment of Truth" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Moment of Truth" 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.
