Recording notes

From That's the Spirit (2015). A moody That's the Spirit track with big riffs and electronic layers. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so an Epiphone Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set the amp clean with a little edge and use the neck pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Blasphemy" Tone

  1. What guitar did Bring Me the Horizon use on "Blasphemy"?

    The guitar on "Blasphemy" (released 2015) isn't documented; the Epiphone Les Paul Custom above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Blasphemy" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 5.5. 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 "Blasphemy" without the original gear?

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