From Back to Oblivion (2014). Back to Oblivion is the third studio album by American rock band Finch, released on September 30, 2014. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Marshall JCM2000 TSL100, the nearest rig we use for Finch's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Anywhere But Here" Tone

The guitar on "Anywhere But Here" (released 2014) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

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