From Aphelion (2021). Aphelion is the seventh studio album by Norwegian progressive metal band Leprous, released on 27 August 2021 via Inside Out Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG1570 Prestige through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Leprous' other songs from Aphelion, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Castaway Angels" Tone

The guitar on "Castaway Angels" (released 2021) isn't documented; the Ibanez RG1570 Prestige above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

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