From Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies (2013). Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies is the fifth studio album by Danish rock band Volbeat. King Diamond sings on the track. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2210, the rig we use for Volbeat's other songs from Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.

What guitar did Volbeat use on "Room 24"?
The guitar on "Room 24" (released 2013) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Standard above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in D Standard (D G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.

Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, Volume 6.5. 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 "Room 24" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Room 24" 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.
