From Rabbit Don't Come Easy (2003). Rabbit Don't Come Easy is the tenth studio album by German power metal band Helloween, released on 12 May 2003 by Nuclear Blast. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Helloween's other songs from Rabbit Don't Come Easy, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Nothing to Say" Tone
What guitar did Helloween use on "Nothing to Say"?
The guitar on "Nothing to Say" (released 2003) 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, Bass 6, Mid 6, 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 "Nothing to Say" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Nothing to Say" 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.
