From Time to Die (2014). Time to Die is the eighth studio album by English stoner/doom metal band Electric Wizard, released on 29 September 2014. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through an Orange OR120 (Vintage), the rig we use for Electric Wizard's other songs from Time to Die, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in a tuning that is not one of the standard names: B E A D F♯ B, low to high.

Settings for this sound: Gain 9, Bass 8, Mid 4, Treble 4, Presence 4, Volume 8. 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 "Time to Die" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Time to Die" 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.
