From Destroy the Machines (1995). Destroy the Machines is the debut studio album by American metalcore band Earth Crisis, it was released in 1995. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK2 through a Peavey 5150, the nearest rig we use for Earth Crisis' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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