Recording notes

From Enemy of God (2005). Enemy of God is the eleventh studio album by German thrash metal band Kreator, released on 10 January 2005. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Kreator's other songs from Enemy of God, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in D standard (D G C F A D), a whole step below standard.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "World Anarchy" Tone

  1. What guitar did Kreator use on "World Anarchy"?

    The guitar on "World Anarchy" (released 2005) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in D Standard (D G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.

  2. What amp settings does "World Anarchy" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 7, 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.

  3. Can I play "World Anarchy" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "World Anarchy" 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.
