From The Devil You Know (2009). The Devil You Know is a 2009 studio album by Heaven & Hell. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a Sabbath-style SG-and-Marshall pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.

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