From The Black Market (2014). The Black Market is the seventh studio album by American punk rock band Rise Against, released on July 15, 2014 through Interscope Records. The Black Market's guitars leaned on analog signals through a Kemper amplifier, with an Evertune bridge to hold the tuning. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this particular recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Classic through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Rise Against's other songs from The Black Market, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Zero Visibility" Tone
What guitar did Rise Against use on "Zero Visibility"?
The guitar on "Zero Visibility" (released 2014) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Classic above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Zero Visibility" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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 "Zero Visibility" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Zero Visibility" 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.
