From Moment (2020). Moment is the twelfth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Dark Tranquillity, being released on 20 November 2020 via Century Media Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through an Engl Powerball, the rig we use for Dark Tranquillity's other songs from Moment, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "Identical to None" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Identical to None" 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.
