From Rocket Ride (2006). Rocket Ride is the seventh full-length album by German power metal band Edguy, released on 20 January 2006. 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.
Common Questions About the "Save Me" Tone
What guitar did Edguy use on "Save Me"?
The guitar on "Save Me" (released 2006) isn't documented; the Gibson Explorer above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Save Me" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, Volume 7. 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 "Save Me" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Save Me" 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.
