Recording notes

From Whitechapel (2012). Whitechapel is the fourth studio album by American deathcore band Whitechapel, released on 19 June 2012 by Metal Blade. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for Whitechapel's other songs from Whitechapel, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.

Common Questions About the "Hate Creation" Tone

  1. What guitar did Whitechapel use on "Hate Creation"?

    The guitar on "Hate Creation" (released 2012) isn't documented; the ESP LTD EC-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Hate Creation" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 9, Bass 7, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 7, Volume 8. 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.

  3. Can I play "Hate Creation" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Hate Creation" 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.
