From Satellite (2001). Satellite is the fourth studio album by Christian nu metal band P.O.D. It was released by Atlantic Records on September 11, 2001. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for P.O.D.'s other songs from Satellite, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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