From The Infection (2009). The Infection is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Chimaira. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Chimaira's other songs, 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).

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