Recording notes

From Coherence (2021). Coherence is the fifth studio album by the Australian melodic death metal band Be'lakor, released on 29 October 2021 by Napalm Records. The album's personnel list credits George Kosmas and Shaun Sykes with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Be'lakor's other songs from Coherence, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Hidden Window" Tone

  1. What guitar did Be'lakor use on "Hidden Window"?

    The guitar on "Hidden Window" (released 2021) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Hidden Window" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 5, Presence 5, 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 "Hidden Window" without the original gear?

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