Recording notes

From Realm of Chaos (1989). Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness is the second studio album by British death metal band Bolt Thrower, released on 28 October 1989. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Bolt Thrower's other songs from Realm of Chaos, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Common Questions About the "All That Remains" Tone

  1. What guitar did Bolt Thrower use on "All That Remains"?

    The guitar on "All That Remains" (released 1989) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Standard above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "All That Remains" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 4, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 9. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.

  3. Can I play "All That Remains" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "All That Remains" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
