From Automata I (2018). Automata I is the eighth studio album by the American progressive metal band Between the Buried and Me, released on 9 March 2018. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Between the Buried and Me's other songs from Automata I, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Yellow Eyes" Tone
What guitar did Between the Buried and Me use on "Yellow Eyes"?
The guitar on "Yellow Eyes" (released 2018) isn't documented; the PRS Custom 24 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Yellow Eyes" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 5.5, Mid 5.5, 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 "Yellow Eyes" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Yellow Eyes" 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.
