Common Questions About the Bathory Tone
What amp was Bathory recorded with?
Every one of the Bathory 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 Bathory?
The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s) appears on the most Bathory 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 Bathory sound?
Across the 7 guitar tracks from Bathory we've catalogued, the median is gain 8.5 (range 8.5–8.5), with bass 5, mid 5, 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 Bathory?
The Boss DS-1 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 Bathory songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 7 tracks from Bathory broken down, including "Hades" and "Armageddon". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
