From Metalizer (2007). Metalizer is the third full-length release by the Swedish power metal band Sabaton, released on 16 March 2007 by Black Lodge Records. The album's personnel list credits Rickard Sundén and Oskar Montelius with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for Sabaton's other songs from Metalizer, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Endless Nights" Tone
What guitar did Sabaton use on "Endless Nights"?
The guitar on "Endless Nights" (released 2007) isn't documented; the ESP LTD EC-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Endless Nights" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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 "Endless Nights" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Endless Nights" 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.
