From The Mountain (2013). The Mountain is the third studio album by English progressive metal band Haken. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Strandberg Boden Original NX 7 through a Fractal Audio Axe-FX III, the nearest rig we use for Haken's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Atlas Stone" Tone
What guitar did Haken use on "Atlas Stone"?
The guitar on "Atlas Stone" (released 2013) isn't documented; the Strandberg Boden Original NX 7 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Atlas Stone" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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.
Can I play "Atlas Stone" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Atlas Stone" 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.
