From Dopesick (1996). Dopesick is the third studio album by American sludge metal band Eyehategod, released on April 2, 1996. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through an Orange OR120, the rig we use for Eyehategod's other songs from Dopesick, 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♯), three half steps below standard.
Common Questions About the "Anxiety Hangover" Tone
What guitar did Eyehategod use on "Anxiety Hangover"?
The guitar on "Anxiety Hangover" (released 1996) 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 "Anxiety Hangover" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 9, Bass 7.5, Mid 4.5, Treble 5.5, Presence 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 "Anxiety Hangover" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Anxiety Hangover" 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.
