From Venom (2015). A fast, heavy metalcore song with tight, palm-muted rhythm guitars. Nothing published ties a rig to this song, so an ESP E-II Eclipse into a Peavey 5150 II stands in. Set the gain high with a tight low end on the bridge pickup. The rest of the album is in Drop C, so that is assumed here.
Common Questions About the "Raising Hell" Tone
What guitar did Bullet for My Valentine use on "Raising Hell"?
The guitar on "Raising Hell" (released 2015) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop C (C G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Raising Hell" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, 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 "Raising Hell" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Raising Hell" 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.
