From Eternal Devastation (1986). Eternal Devastation is the second full-length album by German thrash metal band Destruction, released on July 12, 1986. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a B.C. Rich Mockingbird Legacy through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Destruction's other songs from Eternal Devastation, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Eternal Ban" Tone
What guitar did Destruction use on "Eternal Ban"?
The guitar on "Eternal Ban" (released 1986) isn't documented; the B.C. Rich Mockingbird Legacy above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Eternal Ban" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 5, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, Volume 7.5. 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 "Eternal Ban" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Eternal Ban" 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.
