From Ricochet (2025). Ricochet is the tenth studio album by the American punk rock band Rise Against, released on 15 August 2025 by Loma Vista. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Classic through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Rise Against's other songs from Ricochet, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.

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