From Get Heavy (2002). Get Heavy is the debut studio album by the Finnish rock band Lordi, released on 1 November 2002 by BMG Finland and Drakkar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Lordi's other songs from Get Heavy, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Get Heavy" (released 2002) isn't documented; the Schecter Hellraiser C-1 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, 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 "Get Heavy" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Get Heavy" 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.
