From Embers of a Dying World (2017). Embers of a Dying World is the sixth studio album by Finnish melodic death metal band Mors Principium Est. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Mors Principium Est's other songs from Embers of a Dying World, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, 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 "Reclaim the Sun" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Reclaim the Sun" 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.
