From The Flood (2011). The Flood is the second 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 rig we use for Of Mice & Men's other songs from The Flood, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
Common Questions About the "Let Live" Tone
What guitar did Of Mice & Men use on "Let Live"?
The guitar on "Let Live" (released 2011) 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 "Let Live" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8.5, Bass 7, Mid 4.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, Volume 6.5. 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 "Let Live" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Let Live" 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.
