From Remedy Lane (2002). Remedy Lane is a studio album by Pain of Salvation. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JVM410H, the rig we use for Pain of Salvation's other songs from Remedy Lane, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Ending Theme" Tone
What guitar did Pain of Salvation use on "Ending Theme"?
The guitar on "Ending Theme" (released 2002) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Ending Theme" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 5, Volume 6. 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 "Ending Theme" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Ending Theme" 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.
