From Before the World Turns to Dust (2026). Before the World Turns to Dust is the third studio album by the American alternative rock band the Calling. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for The Calling's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Stand Up 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 "Stand Up 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.
