From Lugal Ki En (2014). Lugal Ki En is the third studio album by American deathcore band Rings of Saturn, released on 14 October 2014 by Unique Leader Records. The album's personnel list credits Lucas Mann and Joel Omans with guitars, with Rusty Cooley adding a guest guitar solo on "Infused". No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RGMS8 Iron Label 8-String through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Rings of Saturn's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.

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