From Eclipse (2012). Eclipse is a studio album by the American progressive metalcore band Veil of Maya, released on 28 February 2012 by Sumerian Records. The album's personnel list credits Marc Okubo with guitars. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Strandberg Boden Prog NX 7 through a Fractal Audio Axe-FX III, the rig we use for Veil of Maya's other songs from Eclipse, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "Divide Paths" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Divide Paths" 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.
