FAQ

Common Questions About the Obituary Tone

  1. What amp was Obituary recorded with?

    Every one of the Obituary 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 Obituary?

    The Jackson King V appears on the most Obituary 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 Obituary sound?

    Across the 5 guitar tracks from Obituary we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 6.5, mid 5.5, 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 Obituary songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 5 tracks from Obituary broken down, including "Ten Thousand Ways to Die" and "A Lesson in Vengeance". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
