From Clayman (2000). Clayman is the fifth studio album by Swedish heavy metal band In Flames, released via Nuclear Blast on 3 July 2000. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for In Flames' other songs from Clayman, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in C standard (C F B♭ E♭ G C), two whole steps below standard.

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