Recording notes

From The Ghost Inside (2020). The Ghost Inside is the fifth album by American metalcore band The Ghost Inside. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through an EVH 5150III 100W EL34 Head, the rig we use for The Ghost Inside's other songs from The Ghost Inside, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A (A E A D F♯ B).

Common Questions About the "One Choice" Tone

  1. What guitar did The Ghost Inside use on "One Choice"?

    The guitar on "One Choice" (released 2020) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop A (A E A D F♯ B), so retune before you dial anything in.

  2. What amp settings does "One Choice" need?

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

  3. Can I play "One Choice" without the original gear?

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