From Dreams on Toast (2025). Dreams on Toast is the eighth studio album by the British hard rock band the Darkness, released on 28 March 2025 on Canary Dwarf and Cooking Vinyl. 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 Dreams on Toast, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Walking Through Fire" 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.
