What guitar was used on Terrible Certainty?
The ESP LTD EC-1000 (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Terrible Certainty tracks in our catalog. You don't need one - the settings are calibrated to the recorded tone, so they translate to the guitar you already have.

Across the 8 guitar tracks from Terrible Certainty we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 6, mid 5.5, treble 6.5 on a 0–10 scale. That's the record's window rather than any one song's recipe - pick a track above for the exact knob positions it was recorded with.
