From Feel (2013). Feel is the third studio album by the American rock band Sleeping with Sirens, released on June 4, 2013 by Rise Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Sleeping with Sirens' other songs from Feel, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Free Now" Tone
What guitar did Sleeping with Sirens use on "Free Now"?
The guitar on "Free Now" (released 2013) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Free Now" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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 "Free Now" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Free Now" 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.
