Recording notes

From Portal of I (2012). Portal of I is the debut studio album by Australian progressive metal band Ne Obliviscaris. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Ne Obliviscaris' other songs from Portal of I, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

  1. What guitar did Ne Obliviscaris use on "Forget Not"?

    The guitar on "Forget Not" (released 2012) isn't documented; the PRS Custom 24 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

    Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 5, Volume 6. 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 "Forget Not" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Forget Not" 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.
