From The Congregation (2015). The Congregation is the fourth studio album by Norwegian progressive metal band Leprous. 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 The Congregation, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Third Law" Tone
What guitar did Leprous use on "Third Law"?
The guitar on "Third Law" (released 2015) isn't documented; the Ibanez RG1570 Prestige above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Third Law" need?
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 "Third Law" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Third Law" 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.
