From The Spark (2017). The Spark is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Enter Shikari, released on 22 September 2017 by Ambush Reality and PIAS Recordings. The album's personnel list credits Rory Clewlow on lead guitar, with Rou Reynolds also on guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD MH-400 through an Engl Powerball (E645), the nearest rig we use for Enter Shikari's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Live Outside" Tone
What guitar did Enter Shikari use on "Live Outside"?
The guitar on "Live Outside" (released 2017) isn't documented; the ESP LTD MH-400 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Live Outside" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, 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 "Live Outside" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Live Outside" 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.
