From Time Is Up (2011). Time Is Up is the second full-length album recorded by the thrash metal band Havok. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EX-351 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Havok's other songs from Time Is Up, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "Out Of My Way" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Out Of My Way" 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.
