Common Questions About the Toxic Tone
What amp was Toxic recorded with?
Every one of the Toxic tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.
What guitar was used on Toxic?
The ESP E-II Eclipse (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Toxic 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.
What amp settings do I need for the Toxic sound?
Across the 4 guitar tracks from Toxic we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 6, mid 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.
How many Toxic songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 4 tracks from Toxic broken down, including "Red" and "Vortex". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
