Recording notes

From This War Is Ours (2008). This War Is Ours is the second album by American rock band Escape the Fate. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG1570 Prestige through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Escape the Fate's other songs from This War Is Ours, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

  3. Can I play "On to the Next One" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "On to the Next One" 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.
