Recording notes

From Brainwashed (2015). Brainwashed is the second studio album by English metalcore band While She Sleeps. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Charvel Sean Long Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH HT M through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for While She Sleeps' other songs from Brainwashed, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

Common Questions About the "Our Legacy" Tone

  1. What guitar did While She Sleeps use on "Our Legacy"?

    The guitar on "Our Legacy" (released 2015) isn't documented; the Charvel Sean Long Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH HT M above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop C (C G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.

  2. What amp settings does "Our Legacy" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 7, Volume 8. 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.

  3. Can I play "Our Legacy" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Our Legacy" 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.
