Common Questions About the Constrictor Tone
What amp was Constrictor recorded with?
Every one of the Constrictor tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM800 2203. ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.
What guitar was used on Constrictor?
The Kramer The 84 (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Constrictor tracks in our catalog. You don't need one - the settings are calibrated to the recorded tone, so they translate to the guitar you already have.
What amp settings do I need for the Constrictor sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Constrictor we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), with bass 5, mid 6, treble 7 on a 0–10 scale. That's the record's window rather than any one song's recipe - pick a track above for the exact knob positions it was recorded with.
What pedals are on Constrictor?
The Boss CE-2 Chorus shows up on the most tracks here. Every track breakdown lists that song's full signal chain in order, and the match engine substitutes what you own for what you don't.
How many Constrictor songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Constrictor broken down, including "He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask)" and "Teenage Frankenstein". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
