From Flowers (2026). A heavy, tight metalcore song with a low-tuned, high-gain rhythm guitar. Uberproaudio lists Peavey 6505+ amps from a 2009 tour, an Orange Rockerverb, a Marshall JCM800 and a Mesa Triple Rectifier, with Schecter guitars, for Jeremy DePoyster, most of it undated and none tied to this record. So an ESP LTD EC-1000 into a Peavey 6505+ stands in. Set the gain high with a tight low end on the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.

Can I play "So Low" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "So Low" 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.
