Recording notes

From Sinner (2001). Sinner is the debut studio album by the American rock band Drowning Pool, released on June 5, 2001, by Wind-up Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for Drowning Pool's other songs from Sinner, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯).

Common Questions About the "All Over Me" Tone

  1. What guitar did Drowning Pool use on "All Over Me"?

    The guitar on "All Over Me" (released 2001) isn't documented; the ESP LTD EC-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯), so retune before you dial anything in.

  2. What amp settings does "All Over Me" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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 "All Over 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 "All Over 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.
