FAQ

Common Questions About the Angst Tone

  1. What amp was Angst recorded with?

    Every one of the Angst tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Peavey 5150. 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 Angst?

    The ESP E-II Eclipse (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Angst 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 Angst sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Angst we've catalogued, the median is gain 7.5 (range 7.5–7.5), with bass 6.5, mid 4.5, 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.

  4. How many Angst songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Angst broken down, including "Glory" and "Light". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
