Recording notes

From Lead Us Back: Songs of Worship (2015). Lead Us Back: Songs of Worship is the twelfth studio album by Third Day, released on 3 March 2015 by Essential. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Third Day's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

  1. What guitar did Third Day use on "Soul on Fire"?

    The guitar on "Soul on Fire" (released 2015) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Soul on Fire" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 6, Mid 6.5, Treble 6, 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.

  3. Can I play "Soul on Fire" without the original gear?

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