Recording notes

From Dark Sun (2022). Dark Sun is the fifth studio album by American post-hardcore band Dayseeker, released on 4 November 2022 by Spinefarm Records. The album's personnel list credits Gino Scambelluri with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter C-1 Apocalypse through a Neural DSP Quad Cortex, the nearest rig we use for Dayseeker's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Common Questions About the "Without Me" Tone

  1. What guitar did Dayseeker use on "Without Me"?

    The guitar on "Without Me" (released 2022) isn't documented; the Schecter C-1 Apocalypse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, 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.

  3. Can I play "Without Me" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Without Me" 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.
