From Evanescence (2011). Evanescence is the third studio album by American rock band Evanescence, released on October 7, 2011 by Wind-up Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK2 through a Mesa Boogie Tremoverb, the rig we use for Evanescence's other songs from Evanescence, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Lost in Paradise" Tone
What guitar did Evanescence use on "Lost in Paradise"?
The guitar on "Lost in Paradise" (released 2011) isn't documented; the Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK2 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Lost in Paradise" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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 "Lost in Paradise" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Lost in Paradise" 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.
