From All for One (1983). All for One is the third studio album by English heavy metal band Raven. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a B.C. Rich Mockingbird Legacy through a Marshall JMP 2203 Master Volume, the rig we use for Raven's other songs from All for One, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Seek and Destroy" Tone
What guitar did Raven use on "Seek and Destroy"?
The guitar on "Seek and Destroy" (released 1983) isn't documented; the B.C. Rich Mockingbird Legacy above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Seek and Destroy" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, 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.
Can I play "Seek and Destroy" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Seek and Destroy" 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.
