From A Beautiful Place to Drown (2020). A Beautiful Place to Drown is the tenth studio album by the Canadian post-hardcore band Silverstein, released on March 6, 2020 through UNFD worldwide. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Silverstein's other songs from A Beautiful Place to Drown, 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♯), a half step below drop C.

Can I play "September 14th" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "September 14th" 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.
