FAQ

Common Questions About the The God Machine Tone

  1. What amp was The God Machine recorded with?

    Every one of the The God Machine tracks in our catalog was tracked on an Engl Fireball 100. ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.

  2. What guitar was used on The God Machine?

    The ESP LTD EC-1000 appears on the most The God Machine 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.

  3. What amp settings do I need for the The God Machine sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from The God Machine we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 6, mid 6, treble 6.5 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.

  4. What pedals are on The God Machine?

    The Ibanez Tube Screamer TS-9 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.

    ToneMirror has 4 tracks from The God Machine broken down, including "Blood of the Elves" and "Deliver Us from Evil". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
