From In the Absence of Truth (2006). In the Absence of Truth is the fourth studio album by American post-metal band Isis, released on 31 October 2006 by Ipecac Recordings. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through an Orange OR120 (Vintage), the rig we use for Isis' other songs from In the Absence of Truth, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Garden of Light" Tone
What guitar did Isis use on "Garden of Light"?
The guitar on "Garden of Light" (released 2006) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Garden of Light" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 6, Mid 6, Treble 6, 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 "Garden of Light" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Garden of Light" 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.
