From Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! (2013). Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! is the fourth studio album by American pop rock band Panic! at the Disco. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Traditional through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Panic! at the Disco's other songs from Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.

The guitar on "This Is Gospel" (released 2013) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Traditional above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop D (D A D G B E), so retune before you dial anything in.

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