From One More Light (2017). An anthemic, pop-leaning track with restrained guitar. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier stands in. Set the amp clean and use the neck pickup.

Can I play "Battle Symphony" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Battle Symphony" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else.
