Common Questions About the Shogun Tone
What amp was Shogun recorded with?
Every one of the Shogun tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Peavey 5150 II. 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 Shogun?
The ESP E-II Eclipse (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Shogun 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 Shogun sound?
Across the 8 guitar tracks from Shogun 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.
What pedals are on Shogun?
The Ibanez Tube Screamer TS-9 shows up on the most tracks here. Every track breakdown lists that song's full signal chain in order, and the match engine substitutes what you own for what you don't.
How many Shogun songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 8 tracks from Shogun broken down, including "Shogun" and "Into the Mouth of Hell We March". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
