From Chemical Warfare (2021). Chemical Warfare is the seventh studio album by American rock band Escape the Fate, released on April 16, 2021. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG1570 Prestige through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Escape the Fate'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 B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯).
Common Questions About the "Not My Problem" Tone
What guitar did Escape the Fate use on "Not My Problem"?
The guitar on "Not My Problem" (released 2021) isn't documented; the Ibanez RG1570 Prestige above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Not My Problem" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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 "Not My Problem" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Not My Problem" 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.
