From The Common Man's Collapse (2008). The Common Man's Collapse is the second studio album by American metalcore band Veil of Maya. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez RG550 Genesis through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Veil of Maya's other songs from The Common Man's Collapse, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯).
