From All Things Set Aside (2006). All Things Set Aside is the debut 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 nearest rig we use for Veil of Maya's other songs, 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♯).

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