From [id] (2010). [id] is a studio album by the American progressive metalcore band Veil of Maya, released on 6 April 2010 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 an Ibanez RG550 Genesis through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Veil of Maya's other songs from [id], 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♯).
Common Questions About the "Namaste" Tone
What guitar did Veil of Maya use on "Namaste"?
The guitar on "Namaste" (released 2010) isn't documented; the Ibanez RG550 Genesis above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Namaste" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8.5, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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 "Namaste" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Namaste" 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.
