From Death Penalty (1982). Death Penalty is the debut studio album by the English heavy metal band Witchfinder General. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Witchfinder General's other songs from Death Penalty, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in C standard (C F B♭ E♭ G C), two whole steps below standard.
Common Questions About the "Invisible Hate" Tone
What guitar did Witchfinder General use on "Invisible Hate"?
The guitar on "Invisible Hate" (released 1982) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Standard above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in C Standard (C F B♭ E♭ G C), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Invisible Hate" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 5, Presence 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 "Invisible Hate" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Invisible Hate" 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.
