What amp was Dystopia recorded with?
Every one of the Dystopia tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM800 2204 (Vintage). 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 Dystopia?
The Gibson Explorer appears on the most Dystopia 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.

Across the 3 guitar tracks from Dystopia we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 5, mid 5, 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.
