From Dear Youth (2014). Dear Youth is a studio album by the American metalcore band the Ghost Inside, released on 17 November 2014 by Epitaph Records. The album's personnel list credits Aaron Brooks on lead guitar and Zack Johnson on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for The Ghost Inside's other songs from Dear Youth, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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