Recording notes

From Resolution (2012). Resolution is a studio album by the American groove metal band Lamb of God, released on 24 January 2012 by Epic Records. The album's personnel list credits Mark Morton and Willie Adler with guitar. 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 rig we use for Lamb of God's other songs from Resolution, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Guilty" Tone

  1. What guitar did Lamb of God use on "Guilty"?

    The guitar on "Guilty" (released 2012) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Guilty" 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.

  3. Can I play "Guilty" without the original gear?

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