From Man Woman Life Death Infinity (2017). Man Woman Life Death Infinity is the 25th album by the Australian alternative rock band the Church, released on 6 October 2017 by Unorthodox. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Rickenbacker 360 through a Vox AC30 C2, the nearest rig we use for The Church's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Another Century" Tone
What guitar did The Church use on "Another Century"?
The guitar on "Another Century" (released 2017) isn't documented; the Rickenbacker 360 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 4, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, 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 "Another Century" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Another Century" 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.
