Recording notes

From The End (2025). Produced by Wolfgang Van Halen with Michael "Elvis" Baskette and released in October 2025 under the shortened band name Mammoth, with Wolfgang playing every instrument. It opens the album at 5:28. Wolfgang Van Halen plays EVH Wolfgang guitars, but no source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an EVH Wolfgang USA through an EVH 5150III 50W stands in. Set the amp at a driven crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "One of a Kind" Tone

  1. What guitar did Mammoth WVH use on "One of a Kind"?

    The guitar on "One of a Kind" (released 2025) isn't documented; the EVH Wolfgang USA above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

  2. What amp settings does "One of a Kind" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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 "One of a Kind" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "One of a Kind" 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.
