From We Are Not Your Kind (2019). We Are Not Your Kind is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Slipknot. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Jim Root Stratocaster through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Slipknot's other songs from We Are Not Your Kind, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Insert Coin" Tone
What guitar did Slipknot use on "Insert Coin"?
The guitar on "Insert Coin" (released 2019) isn't documented; the Fender Jim Root Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Insert Coin" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6.5, Mid 5, 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.
Can I play "Insert Coin" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Insert Coin" 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.
