Recording notes

From Hisingen Blues (2011). Hisingen Blues is the second full-length studio album by Swedish hard rock band Graveyard. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker Reissue, the rig we use for Graveyard's other songs from Hisingen Blues, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "The Siren" Tone

  1. What guitar did Graveyard use on "The Siren"?

    The guitar on "The Siren" (released 2011) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Standard above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "The Siren" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 5, Presence 5, Volume 7. 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 "The Siren" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "The Siren" 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.
