From Prayers for the Damned, Vol. 1 (2016). Prayers for the Damned, Vol. 1 is the fourth studio album by American rock band Sixx:A.M., released on 29 April 2016 by Eleven Seven Music. The album's personnel list credits DJ Ashba with lead guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Sixx:A.M.'s other songs from Prayers for the Damned, Vol. 1, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Everything Went to Hell" 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.
