From Worlds Apart (2017). Their third studio album, self-produced and recorded in 2016 and 2017 at Sumo Sound Studios in Perth and Templeman Audio in Mount Hawthorn, it was released through Rise on 28 July 2017. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Soloist SL2QM through an EVH 5150III 100W Stealth, the kind of pairing used for the band's other records, chosen over the modelers used elsewhere, stands in. Set the amp to a high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A.

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