Recording notes

From Hymns from the Apocrypha (2023). Hymns from the Apocrypha is the ninth studio album by American death metal band Suffocation, released on November 3, 2023, via Nuclear Blast. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Soloist SL2 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Suffocation's other songs from Hymns from the Apocrypha, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in C♯ standard (C♯ F♯ B E G♯ C♯), three half steps below standard.

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