From The End, So Far (2022). A melodic, mid-tempo End, So Far track that stays closer to rock than to the band's heaviest material. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so Fender Jim Root Stratocaster through Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII stands in. Set the amp at a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
Common Questions About the "Adderall" Tone
What guitar did Slipknot use on "Adderall"?
The guitar on "Adderall" (released 2022) isn't documented; the Fender Jim Root Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Adderall" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 6, Mid 4.5, Treble 7, Presence 6, 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 "Adderall" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Adderall" 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.
