From Plagues (2007). Plagues is the second studio album by American metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for The Devil Wears Prada's other songs from Plagues, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
