From Titans of Creation (2020). Titans of Creation is the thirteenth studio album by American thrash metal band Testament, released on April 3, 2020. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Testament's other songs from Titans of Creation, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "The Healers" Tone
What guitar did Testament use on "The Healers"?
The guitar on "The Healers" (released 2020) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "The Healers" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 4.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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 "The Healers" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "The Healers" 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.
