From The Peace and the Panic (2017). The Peace and the Panic is the third studio album by Welsh pop punk band Neck Deep, released on 18 August 2017 by Hopeless Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player II Jazzmaster through an Orange Rockerverb 50 MkIII, the rig we use for Neck Deep's other songs from The Peace and the Panic, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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