From Creature (2009). Creature is the debut studio album by American metalcore band Within the Ruins. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RGD3127 Prestige 7-String through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Within the Ruins' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

What guitar did Within the Ruins use on "Tractor Pull"?
The guitar on "Tractor Pull" (released 2009) isn't documented; the Ibanez RGD3127 Prestige 7-String above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop G♯ (G♯ D♯ G♯ C♯ F A♯), so retune before you dial anything in.

Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, 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.
Can I play "Tractor Pull" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Tractor Pull" 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.
