From A Tear in the Fabric of Life (2021). A Tear in the Fabric of Life is an EP by American hardcore punk band Knocked Loose, released on 13 October 2021 by Pure Noise Records. The album's personnel list credits Isaac Hale on lead guitar and Cole Crutchfield on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Knocked Loose's other songs from A Tear in the Fabric of Life, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Permanent" (released 2021) isn't documented; the ESP LTD EC-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6.5, Mid 5, Treble 5.5, Presence 6, Volume 8. 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 "Permanent" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Permanent" 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.
