From Antithesis (2008). Antithesis is the fourth studio album by American technical death metal band Origin. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, the rig we use for Origin's other songs from Antithesis, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
Common Questions About the "Wrath of Vishnu" Tone
What guitar did Origin use on "Wrath of Vishnu"?
The guitar on "Wrath of Vishnu" (released 2008) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Horizon NT-II above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop C (C G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Wrath of Vishnu" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8.5, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 7, Presence 7, Volume 8. 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 "Wrath of Vishnu" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Wrath of Vishnu" 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.
