The Story

Unearth's rhythm guitar tone on "My Will Be Done" was achieved using a Caparison Dellinger guitar through a Peavey 5150 amplifier, with an Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer providing additional midrange focus and low-end tightening. The signal was recorded with a Shure SM57 microphone placed close to the speaker cone, and an ISP Decimator was used for noise gating to maintain clarity during the fast, technical passages.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a high-output humbucker-equipped guitar like the Caparison Dellinger.
  • Use a Peavey 5150 or similar high-gain amplifier and dial in a tone with plenty of gain, tight low end, and present mids.
  • Place a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone and adjust its position until you find the sweet spot.
  • Use an Ibanez TS808 (or similar overdrive pedal) with the drive set low and the level set high to tighten up the low end and boost the mids.
  • Use a noise gate like the ISP Decimator to eliminate unwanted noise and keep the tone tight and focused.
  • EQ in post to remove unwanted frequencies and further refine the tone.
