Recording notes

From Ode to Ochrasy (2006). Ode to Ochrasy is the third studio album by Mando Diao, released on 25 August 2006 by Mute Records. The album's personnel list credits Björn Dixgård and Gustaf Norén on guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the nearest rig we use for Mando Diao's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Common Questions About the "Ochrasy" Tone

  1. What guitar did Mando Diao use on "Ochrasy"?

    The guitar on "Ochrasy" (released 2006) isn't documented; the Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Ochrasy" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 4.5, Mid 6.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, Volume 6. 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 "Ochrasy" without the original gear?

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