Recording notes

From Powertrip (1998). Powertrip is the fourth studio album by American rock band Monster Magnet, released on June 16, 1998. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through an Orange Rockerverb 50 MkIII, the rig we use for Monster Magnet's other songs from Powertrip, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

  1. What guitar did Monster Magnet use on "See You in Hell"?

    The guitar on "See You in Hell" (released 1998) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, 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 "See You in Hell" without the original gear?

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