Common Questions About the Genesis Tone
What amp was Genesis recorded with?
Every one of the Genesis tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Peavey 6505+. 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 Genesis?
The Jackson Pro Series Soloist SLA3 (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Genesis 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 Genesis sound?
Across the 6 guitar tracks from Genesis we've catalogued, the median is gain 9 (range 9–9), with bass 7, 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.
How many Genesis songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 6 tracks from Genesis broken down, including "Martyrdom Unsealed" and "Reduced to Mere Filth". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
