From Bigger than the Devil (1999). Bigger than the Devil is the second album by crossover thrash band Stormtroopers of Death (S.O.D.). No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RRT-3 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Stormtroopers of Death's other songs, 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).

What guitar did Stormtroopers of Death use on "Bigger Than the Devil"?
The guitar on "Bigger Than the Devil" (released 1999) isn't documented; the Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RRT-3 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop C (C G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.

Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 5.5, 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 "Bigger Than the Devil" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Bigger Than the Devil" 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.
