Recording notes

From Until the End (2004). Until the End is the third studio album by Canadian heavy metal band Kittie, released on July 26, 2004, through Artemis Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Soldano SLO-100, the rig we use for Kittie's other songs from Until the End, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

Common Questions About the "Until the End" Tone

  1. What guitar did Kittie use on "Until the End"?

    The guitar on "Until the End" (released 2004) isn't documented; the Gibson Flying V above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop C (C G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.

  2. What amp settings does "Until the End" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6.5, 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.

  3. Can I play "Until the End" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Until the End" 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.
