From Get What You Give (2012). Get What You Give is the third studio album by metalcore band The Ghost Inside, released on June 19, 2012. 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 Get What You Give, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C).
Common Questions About the "The Great Unknown" Tone
What guitar did The Ghost Inside use on "The Great Unknown"?
The guitar on "The Great Unknown" (released 2012) 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♯ F A♯ D♯ G C), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "The Great Unknown" 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.
Can I play "The Great Unknown" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "The Great Unknown" 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.
