From Wrath (2009). Wrath is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Lamb of God. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, the rig we use for Lamb of God's other songs from Wrath, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.

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