From Monsters in Love (2005). Monsters in Love is the fifth studio album by the French rock band Dionysos, released on 29 August 2005 by Barclay. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Dionysos' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Giant Jack" Tone
What guitar did Dionysos use on "Giant Jack"?
The guitar on "Giant Jack" (released 2005) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Giant Jack" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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 "Giant Jack" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Giant Jack" 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.
