From Redeemer of Souls (2014). Produced by Mike Exeter and Glenn Tipton in 2013 and 2014, with Tipton and Richie Faulkner on guitars. The title track (3:58) was written by Tipton, Rob Halford and Faulkner and released as the album's first single on 28 April 2014. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Hamer Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig to the one Judas Priest is documented with, stands in. Set the amp at a driven crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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