From Wasteland (2018). Wasteland is the seventh studio album by Polish progressive rock band Riverside. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Mayones Setius 6 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Riverside's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Acid Rain" Tone
What guitar did Riverside use on "Acid Rain"?
The guitar on "Acid Rain" (released 2018) isn't documented; the Mayones Setius 6 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Acid Rain" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, Volume 6. 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 "Acid Rain" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Acid Rain" 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.
