From The Ghost of Orion (2020). The Ghost of Orion is the thirteenth studio album by English doom metal band My Dying Bride. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the nearest rig we use for My Dying Bride's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Published transcriptions put it in C♯ standard (C♯ F♯ B E G♯ C♯), three half steps below standard.

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