  1. What amp was Abrahadabra recorded with?

    Every one of the Abrahadabra tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb. 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 Abrahadabra?

    The ESP LTD Viper-1000 appears on the most Abrahadabra 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 Abrahadabra sound?

    Across the 5 guitar tracks from Abrahadabra we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 5, mid 4.5, treble 7.5 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. How many Abrahadabra songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 5 tracks from Abrahadabra broken down, including "Gateways" and "Dimmu Borgir". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
