From Cross (2019). Cross is the tenth studio album by Japanese rock band Luna Sea, released on December 18, 2019. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the nearest rig we use for Luna Sea's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
Common Questions About the "The Beyond" Tone
What guitar did Luna Sea use on "The Beyond"?
The guitar on "The Beyond" (released 2019) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "The Beyond" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, 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 "The Beyond" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "The Beyond" 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.
