From Soundtrack to Your Escape (2004). Soundtrack to Your Escape is the seventh studio album by Swedish heavy metal band In Flames, released on 29 March 2004 by Nuclear Blast. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for In Flames' other songs from Soundtrack to Your Escape, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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