From The Ultra-Violence (1987). The Ultra-Violence is the debut studio album by American thrash metal band Death Angel, released in 1987. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson USA Select Randy Rhoads RR1 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Death Angel's other songs from The Ultra-Violence, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Voracious Souls" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Voracious Souls" 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.
