FAQ

Common Questions About the Ratt Tone

  1. What amp was Ratt recorded with?

    Every one of the Ratt 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 Ratt?

    The Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH HT (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Ratt 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 Ratt sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Ratt we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 5.5, mid 6, 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 Ratt songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Ratt broken down, including "Luv Sick" and "Sweet Cheater". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
