From Clandestine (1991). Clandestine is the second studio album by Swedish death 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 rig we use for Entombed's other songs from Clandestine, 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), two whole steps below standard.
Common Questions About the "Stranger Aeons" Tone
What guitar did Entombed use on "Stranger Aeons"?
The guitar on "Stranger Aeons" (released 1991) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in C Standard (C F B♭ E♭ G C), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Stranger Aeons" 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 "Stranger Aeons" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Stranger Aeons" 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.
