From The Jester Race (1996). The Jester Race is the second studio album by Swedish heavy metal band In Flames, released in February 1996. The album's article says the song first appeared on the Subterranean EP under the title "The Inborn Lifeless", with different lyrics, a different ending and a slightly different solo. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for In Flames' other songs from The Jester Race, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in C standard (C F B♭ E♭ G C), two whole steps below standard.
Common Questions About the "Dead God in Me" Tone
What guitar did In Flames use on "Dead God in Me"?
The guitar on "Dead God in Me" (released 1996) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse 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 "Dead God in Me" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, 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 "Dead God in Me" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Dead God in Me" 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.
