What amp settings do I need for Industrial Metal?

Across the 352 Industrial Metal tones in our catalog the median is gain 8 (range 2.5–9.5), with bass 6.5, mid 5, treble 6.5 - on a 0–10 scale. That's the window, not a recipe: pick any song below for the exact knob positions it was recorded with, then let ToneMirror re-voice them for your amp.

What gear gives you the Industrial Metal sound?

In our catalog the Industrial Metal tones lean most on the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the ESP E-II Eclipse (a modern equivalent), the Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier. You don't need any of it - the match engine translates each recipe onto the gear you already own, compensating for a different EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type.

Which artists best represent Industrial Metal?

Rammstein, Marilyn Manson, Motionless in White have the most Industrial Metal tones catalogued here. Each artist page breaks down their full rig and how their tone changed across records.

Can I get these tones without buying vintage gear?

Yes - that's the point of ToneMirror. Every setting on this page was dialled in on the original artist's rig, and the match engine re-voices it for whatever guitar, amp, and pedals you actually have, including modellers like the Helix, Katana, and Kemper.
