From Eight (2026). Eight is the eighth studio album by the American rock band Shinedown, released on 29 May 2026 by Atlantic. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Shinedown's other songs from Eight, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Bear with Me" (released 2026) isn't documented; the PRS Custom 24 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

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