From Alexisonfire (2002). Alexisonfire is the debut studio album from Canadian post-hardcore band Alexisonfire, released on October 31, 2002. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Junior through a Marshall JCM2000 TSL100, the rig we use for Alexisonfire's other songs from Alexisonfire, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the single pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Where No One Knows" Tone
What guitar did Alexisonfire use on "Where No One Knows"?
The guitar on "Where No One Knows" (released 2002) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Junior above gets the sound. Pickup selector: single pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Where No One Knows" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. 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 "Where No One Knows" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Where No One Knows" 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.
