From Down to Earth (2001), with Zakk Wylde on guitar. No source documents the rig on this track, so a Les Paul Custom into a JCM800 stands in. Run a thick, medium-high gain tone on the bridge humbucker with the mids up slightly for a heavy, stomping verse riff. Tuning isn't documented here.

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