From Consign to Oblivion (2005). Consign to Oblivion is the second studio album by Dutch symphonic metal band Epica, and was released in 2005. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through an Engl Fireball 100, the nearest rig we use for Epica's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Blank Infinity" Tone
What guitar did Epica use on "Blank Infinity"?
The guitar on "Blank Infinity" (released 2005) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Blank Infinity" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5.5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 7.5. 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 "Blank Infinity" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Blank Infinity" 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.
