From Are You Satisfied? (2015). Are You Satisfied? is the debut album of English punk duo Slaves. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gretsch G5222 Electromatic Double Jet BT through a Selmer Treble & Bass 50, the rig we use for Slaves' other songs from Are You Satisfied?, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "The Hunter" Tone
What guitar did Slaves use on "The Hunter"?
The guitar on "The Hunter" (released 2015) isn't documented; the Gretsch G5222 Electromatic Double Jet BT above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "The Hunter" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 8. 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 "The Hunter" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "The Hunter" 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.
