FAQ

Common Questions About the Consuming Impulse Tone

  1. What amp was Consuming Impulse recorded with?

    Every one of the Consuming Impulse 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 Consuming Impulse?

    The Jackson X Series Soloist Arch Top SLAT7 MS (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Consuming Impulse 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 Consuming Impulse sound?

    Across the 7 guitar tracks from Consuming Impulse we've catalogued, the median is gain 8.5 (range 8–8.5), with bass 6, 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.

  4. How many Consuming Impulse songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 7 tracks from Consuming Impulse broken down, including "Chronic Infection" and "Dehydrated". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
