From Epica (2003). Epica is the sixth studio album by American power metal band Kamelot, released on 3 March 2003 by Noise Records. The album's personnel list credits Thomas Youngblood with guitars, with Sascha Paeth adding guitars and Luca Turilli playing a solo on "Descent of the Archangel". No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Kamelot's other songs from Epica, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Lost and Damned" Tone
What guitar did Kamelot use on "Lost and Damned"?
The guitar on "Lost and Damned" (released 2003) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Lost and Damned" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5.5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Lost and Damned" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Lost and Damned" 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.
