From Nija (2020). Nija is a studio album by the Swedish melodic death metal band Orbit Culture, released on 7 August 2020 by Seek & Strike. The album's personnel list credits Niklas Karlsson on rhythm guitar and Richard Hansson on lead guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Orbit Culture's other songs from Nija, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Day of the Cloud" Tone

The guitar on "Day of the Cloud" (released 2020) isn't documented; the ESP LTD EC-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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 "Day of the Cloud" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Day of the Cloud" 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.
