From Against the Law (1990). Against the Law is the fifth studio album from the Christian metal band Stryper, released on August 21, 1990. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson American Series Soloist SL3 through a Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ Reissue, the rig we use for Stryper's other songs from Against the Law, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
Common Questions About the "All for One" Tone
What guitar did Stryper use on "All for One"?
The guitar on "All for One" (released 1990) isn't documented; the Jackson American Series Soloist SL3 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "All for One" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, Volume 6.5. 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 "All for One" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "All for One" 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.
