From Scream (2010). Scream is the eleventh studio album by the English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne, released in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2010. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Ozzy Osbourne's other songs from Scream, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Soul Sucker" Tone
What guitar did Ozzy Osbourne use on "Soul Sucker"?
The guitar on "Soul Sucker" (released 2010) isn't documented; the ESP E-II Eclipse above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Soul Sucker" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7.5. 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.
Can I play "Soul Sucker" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Soul Sucker" 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.
