Common Questions About the Metal Church Tone

  1. What amp was Metal Church recorded with?

    Every one of the Metal Church 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.

  2. What guitar was used on Metal Church?

    The Gibson Flying V appears on the most Metal Church 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 5 guitar tracks from Metal Church we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 6, mid 5.5, 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.
