From Never Surrender (1983). Never Surrender is the sixth studio album by the Canadian hard rock band Triumph, released in Canada in December 1982 on Attic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Triumph's other songs from Never Surrender, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "All the Way" Tone
What guitar did Triumph use on "All the Way"?
The guitar on "All the Way" (released 1983) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "All the Way" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, 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 "All the Way" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "All the Way" 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.
