From Nightmares Made Flesh (2004). Nightmares Made Flesh is the second album by Swedish death metal band Bloodbath. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Bloodbath's other songs from Nightmares Made Flesh, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "Outnumbering the Day" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Outnumbering the Day" 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.
