From Uprising (2000). Uprising is the sixth full-length album by Swedish metal band Entombed. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Peavey Bandit 112, the nearest rig we use for Entombed's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Seeing Red" Tone
What guitar did Entombed use on "Seeing Red"?
The guitar on "Seeing Red" (released 2000) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in D Standard (D G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Seeing Red" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 10, Bass 10, Mid 0, Treble 10, Presence 8, 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 "Seeing Red" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Seeing Red" 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.
