From Brave Murder Day (1996). Brave Murder Day is the second studio album by Swedish heavy metal band Katatonia, released on 1 August 1996 by Avantgarde Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for Katatonia's other songs from Brave Murder Day, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Inside the Fall" Tone
What guitar did Katatonia use on "Inside the Fall"?
The guitar on "Inside the Fall" (released 1996) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Horizon NT-II above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Inside the Fall" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, Volume 6.5. 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 "Inside the Fall" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Inside the Fall" 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.
