From Augment (2013). Augment is the second studio album by American progressive metalcore band Erra. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse FT through a Mesa Boogie Mark V, the nearest rig we use for ERRA's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C).
Common Questions About the "Hybrid Earth" Tone
What guitar did ERRA use on "Hybrid Earth"?
The guitar on "Hybrid Earth" (released 2013) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse FT above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Hybrid Earth" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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 "Hybrid Earth" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Hybrid Earth" 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.
