From Trapt (2002). Trapt is the debut studio album by American rock band of the same name, released on November 5, 2002 through Warner Bros. Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD MH-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Trapt's other songs from Trapt, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 5. 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 "These Walls" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "These Walls" 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.
