From Title of Record (1999). Title of Record is the second studio album by American rock band Filter, released on August 24, 1999, by Reprise Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Filter's other songs from Title of Record, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Welcome to the Fold" (released 1999) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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 "Welcome to the Fold" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Welcome to the Fold" 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.
