From The Monsterican Dream (2004). The Monsterican Dream is the second studio album by the Finnish rock band Lordi, released in 2004 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 The Monsterican Dream, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Pet the Destroyer" (released 2004) isn't documented; the Schecter Hellraiser C-1 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

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