From Tether (2023). Tether is the eighth studio album by American rock band Of Mice & Men. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD MH-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Of Mice & Men's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
Common Questions About the "Into the Sun" Tone
What guitar did Of Mice & Men use on "Into the Sun"?
The guitar on "Into the Sun" (released 2023) isn't documented; the ESP LTD MH-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop C (C G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Into the Sun" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6.5, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, 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 "Into 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 "Into 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.
