From Omens (2022). Omens is the ninth studio album by American heavy metal band Lamb of God. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Mark V, the rig we use for Lamb of God's other songs from Omens, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.

What guitar did Lamb of God use on "State of Unrest"?
The guitar on "State of Unrest" (released 2022) 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.

Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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 "State of Unrest" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "State of Unrest" 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.
