From Project: Regeneration Vol. 2 (2024). Project: Regeneration Vol. 2 is the eighth studio album by American industrial metal band Static-X. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a B.C. Rich Ironbird through a Marshall Valvestate VS100, the rig we use for Static-X's other songs from Project Regeneration Vol. 2, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C).

The guitar on "Disco Otsego" (released 2024) isn't documented; the B.C. Rich Ironbird above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C), so retune before you dial anything in.

Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6.5, Mid 5, Treble 6, 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 "Disco Otsego" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Disco Otsego" 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.
