Recording notes

From Evil Heat (2002). A stomping, fuzz-edged rocker with a raw, distorted guitar line. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue stands in. Set the amp high-gain and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.

Common Questions About the "Miss Lucifer" Tone

  1. What guitar did Primal Scream use on "Miss Lucifer"?

    The guitar on "Miss Lucifer" (released 2002) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Miss Lucifer" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 8, 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 "Miss Lucifer" without the original gear?

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