From Heroine (2022). Heroine is the second studio album by Australian alternative rock band Thornhill, released on 3 June 2022 by UNFD. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG Iron Label RGIB21 Baritone through a Kemper Profiler Rack, the rig we use for Thornhill's other songs from Heroine, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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