Recording notes

From Ordinary Man (2020). Ordinary Man is the twelfth studio album by the English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne, released on 21 February 2020 by Epic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Ozzy Osbourne's other songs from Ordinary Man, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

    The guitar on "Eat Me" (released 2020) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Custom above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Eat Me" 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 "Eat Me" without the original gear?

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