From Mudvayne (2009). Mudvayne is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Mudvayne, released through Epic Records on December 18, 2009 in Germany and December 21, 2009 in North America. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for Mudvayne's other songs from Mudvayne, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Dead Inside" Tone
What guitar did Mudvayne use on "Dead Inside"?
The guitar on "Dead Inside" (released 2009) isn't documented; the ESP LTD EC-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Dead Inside" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6.5, Mid 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 "Dead Inside" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Dead Inside" 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.
