Common Questions About the Iron Tone
What amp was Iron recorded with?
Every one of the Iron tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fractal Audio Axe-FX II (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 Iron?
The Jackson USA Select Kelly KE2 appears on the most Iron 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 Iron sound?
Across the 8 guitar tracks from Iron we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), 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.
