Recording notes

From Chimaira (2005). Chimaira is the third studio album by American metal band Chimaira, released on August 9, 2005. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Chimaira's other songs from Chimaira, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Pray for All" Tone

  1. What guitar did Chimaira use on "Pray for All"?

    The guitar on "Pray for All" (released 2005) 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.

  2. What amp settings does "Pray for All" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 7.5. 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 "Pray for All" without the original gear?

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