Recording notes

From Minutes to Midnight (2007). Minutes to Midnight is the third studio album by American rock band Linkin Park, released on May 14, 2007, through Warner Bros. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Linkin Park's other songs from Minutes to Midnight, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.

  3. Can I play "No Roads Left" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "No Roads Left" 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.
