From Tenshi no Revolver (2007). Tenshi no Revolver is the studio album by the Japanese rock band Buck-Tick, released on 19 September 2007 by BMG Japan. The album's personnel list credits Hisashi Imai on lead guitar and Hidehiko Hoshino on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Buck-Tick's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Snow White" Tone
What guitar did Buck-Tick use on "Snow White"?
The guitar on "Snow White" (released 2007) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Snow White" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, Volume 6.5. 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.
Can I play "Snow White" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Snow White" 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.
