From No Rest for the Wicked (1988). No Rest for the Wicked is the fifth solo studio album by the English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne, released in September 1988 in the United States and in October 1988 in the United Kingdom. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Ozzy Osbourne's other songs from No Rest for the Wicked, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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