From VII: Sturm und Drang (2015). Their seventh studio album, it was released on 24 July 2015 through Epic Records in North America and Nuclear Blast elsewhere, and is the last Lamb of God album of original material to feature drummer Chris Adler. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, the nearest rig to the one documented for Lamb of God, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
Common Questions About the "Delusion Pandemic" Tone
What guitar did Lamb of God use on "Delusion Pandemic"?
The guitar on "Delusion Pandemic" (released 2015) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop D (D A D G B E), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Delusion Pandemic" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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 "Delusion Pandemic" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Delusion Pandemic" 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.
