From Exhale (2016). Exhale is the eighth studio album by Thousand Foot Krutch. The Fuel Music released the album on June 17, 2016. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Thousand Foot Krutch's other songs from Exhale, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Off the Rails" Tone
What guitar did Thousand Foot Krutch use on "Off the Rails"?
The guitar on "Off the Rails" (released 2016) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Off the Rails" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, 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.
Can I play "Off the Rails" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Off the Rails" 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.
