From Wrong One to Fuck With (2017). Wrong One to Fuck With is the eighth studio album by American death metal band Dying Fetus, released on June 23, 2017 via Relapse Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Dying Fetus' other songs from Wrong One to Fuck With, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in C♯ standard (C♯ F♯ B E G♯ C♯), three half steps below standard.

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