From The Sickness (2000). The Sickness is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Disturbed. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Disturbed's other songs from The Sickness, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "God of the Mind" Tone
What guitar did Disturbed use on "God of the Mind"?
The guitar on "God of the Mind" (released 2000) isn't documented; the Schecter Hellraiser C-1 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "God of the Mind" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6, 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 "God of the Mind" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "God of the Mind" 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.
