From Gold Cobra (2011). Gold Cobra is the fifth studio album by American nu metal band Limp Bizkit. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG7421 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Limp Bizkit's other songs from Gold Cobra, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯).

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