From Landfall (2026). A heavy metalcore track from Landfall, with tight, high-gain rhythm guitar. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Jackson Pro Plus Series Dinky DK Modern HT6 through an EVH 5150III 50W stands in. Set the amp at a high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.

The guitar on "God Complex" (released 2026) isn't documented; the Jackson Pro Plus Series Dinky DK Modern HT6 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

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