From Empty Hands (2026). Empty Hands is the seventh studio album by American singer Poppy. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD M-1000 Floyd Rose through a Neural DSP Quad Cortex, the rig we use for Poppy's other songs from Empty Hands, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Dying to Forget" Tone
What guitar did Poppy use on "Dying to Forget"?
The guitar on "Dying to Forget" (released 2026) isn't documented; the ESP LTD M-1000 Floyd Rose above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Dying to Forget" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6.5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6.5, Volume 7. 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 "Dying to Forget" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Dying to Forget" 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.
