Common Questions About the Mandrake Tone
What amp was Mandrake recorded with?
Every one of the Mandrake tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JVM410H (a modern equivalent). 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 Mandrake?
The Gibson Explorer appears on the most Mandrake 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 Mandrake sound?
Across the 5 guitar tracks from Mandrake we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 5.5, 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 Mandrake?
The Tube Screamer (modern equivalent: Ibanez TS808DX Tube Screamer + Boost) 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.
