Recording notes

From Omen (2010). Omen is the seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Soulfly, released on May 18, 2010 by Roadrunner. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for Soulfly's other songs from Omen, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Kingdom" Tone

  1. What guitar did Soulfly use on "Kingdom"?

    The guitar on "Kingdom" (released 2010) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Standard above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Kingdom" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 7, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, 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.

  3. Can I play "Kingdom" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Kingdom" 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.
