From Album of the Year (1997). Album of the Year is the sixth studio album by American rock band Faith No More, released on June 3, 1997, by Slash and Reprise Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Faith No More's other songs from Album of the Year, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Paths of Glory" (released 1997) isn't documented; the Gibson Flying V above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, Volume 6.5. 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 "Paths of Glory" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Paths of Glory" 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.
