FAQ

Common Questions About the Horrorscope Tone

  1. What amp was Horrorscope recorded with?

    Every one of the Horrorscope 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 Horrorscope?

    The ESP LTD EC-1000 (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Horrorscope 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 Horrorscope sound?

    Across the 10 guitar tracks from Horrorscope we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 5, mid 4.5, 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.

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

    ToneMirror has 10 tracks from Horrorscope broken down, including "Blood Money" and "Live Young, Die Free". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
