From Rocket Ride (2006). Rocket Ride is the seventh full-length album by the German power metal band Edguy, released on 20 January 2006 by Nuclear Blast. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Explorer through a Marshall JVM410H, the rig we use for Edguy's other songs from Rocket Ride, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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