From Connect (2013). Connect is the fourth studio album by Australian band Sick Puppies, released on 16 July 2013 by Capitol Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Sick Puppies' other songs from Connect, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

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