From New Demons (2013). New Demons is the fourth studio album by American electronicore band I See Stars, released on October 22, 2013 through Sumerian Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for I See Stars' other songs from New Demons, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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.
