From Diamond (2012). Diamond is the fourth album by American hardcore punk band Stick to Your Guns. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD Viper-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Stick to Your Guns' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.

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