From Enter the Chicken (2005). Enter the Chicken is the fourteenth studio album by musician Buckethead. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for Buckethead's other songs from Enter the Chicken, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "We Are One" Tone
What guitar did Buckethead use on "We Are One"?
The guitar on "We Are One" (released 2005) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Custom above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "We Are One" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 7, Presence 6, Volume 6. 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 "We Are One" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "We Are One" 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.
