Common Questions About the Venus Doom Tone

  1. What amp was Venus Doom recorded with?

    Every one of the Venus Doom tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Laney VH100R. 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 Venus Doom?

    The Gibson SG Standard appears on the most Venus Doom 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 Venus Doom sound?

    Across the 7 guitar tracks from Venus Doom we've catalogued, the median is gain 7.5 (range 7.5–7.5), with bass 6.5, 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.
