Common Questions About the Grinderman Tone
What amp was Grinderman recorded with?
Every one of the Grinderman tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100. 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 Grinderman?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Grinderman 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 Grinderman sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Grinderman we've catalogued, the median is gain 4 (range 4–4), with bass 6, mid 5, treble 6 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.

ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Grinderman broken down, including "Electric Alice" and "Honey Bee (Let's Fly to Mars)". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
