Common Questions About the Catartica Tone
What amp was Catartica recorded with?
Every one of the Catartica tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM800 2203. 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 Catartica?
The Jazzmaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazzmaster) appears on the most Catartica 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 Catartica sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Catartica we've catalogued, the median is gain 5 (range 5–5), with bass 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.
What pedals are on Catartica?
The Big Muff (modern equivalent: Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi (NYC)) shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Boss CE-2 Chorus. Every track breakdown lists that song's full signal chain in order, and the match engine substitutes what you own for what you don't.
