From Electric Wizard (1994). Electric Wizard is the debut studio album by English stoner/doom metal band Electric Wizard released in 1994 through Rise Above Records and re-released bundled with their second album, Come My Fanatics.. in 1999. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through an Orange OR120, the nearest rig to the one documented for Electric Wizard, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).

Can I play "Electric Wizard" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Electric Wizard" 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.
