From [id] (2010). Id is the third studio album by American metalcore band Veil of Maya. It was released through Sumerian Records on April 6, 2010. 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.
Common Questions About the "The Higler" Tone
What guitar did Veil of Maya use on "The Higler"?
The guitar on "The Higler" (released 2010) isn't documented; the Ibanez RG550 Genesis above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "The Higler" 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 "The Higler" 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 Higler" 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.
