From Easter Is Cancelled (2019). Easter Is Cancelled is the sixth studio album by the British hard rock band the Darkness, released on 4 October 2019 by Canary Dwarf and Cooking Vinyl. The album's personnel list credits Justin Hawkins and Dan Hawkins with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall 1959HW Handwired Super Lead, the rig we use for The Darkness' other songs from Easter Is Cancelled, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, 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 "In Another Life" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "In Another Life" 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.
