Recording notes

From Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces (2007). No source documents the guitar or amp on this track, so a PRS Custom 24 into a Diezel VH4 stands in. Set a medium-high crunch on the bridge pickup and keep the low end tight. Tuning isn't documented here.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "No Jesus Christ" Tone

  1. What guitar did Seether use on "No Jesus Christ"?

    The guitar on "No Jesus Christ" (released 2007) isn't documented; the PRS Custom 24 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "No Jesus Christ" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, 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.

  3. Can I play "No Jesus Christ" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "No Jesus Christ" 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.
