Artist
2 songs, each with a starting point and the rig from its sources
Tonelify's library has 2 Alice in Chains songs, each with the rig reported in interviews and articles and a reference starting point on a generic five-knob amp. There is no single Alice in Chains setting. Nutshell starts at Gain 4.5 and Man in the Box at Gain 6, so set the amp for the song, not for the artist.
The numbers below are the same ones each song page gives. The rig for each song is on its own page with the sources it comes from.
A growling riff with a clear low end and a talk-box hook over the groove.
Start at Gain 6, Bass 6, Middle 4, Treble 6, Presence 5, Reverb 2, with the bridge pickup.
A wailing electric lead over solemn, minor-chord acoustic guitar.
Start at Gain 4.5, Bass 5, Middle 7, Treble 6, Presence 5, Reverb 3, with the neck pickup for body, bridge if the lead needs to cut.
These are positions on a generic five-knob amp with gain, bass, middle, treble and presence, each running 0 to 10. They are a starting point, not the settings used on the record, and they will not transfer unchanged to an amp with a different gain structure or EQ voicing.

Tonelify reads each of these chains and translates it to the amp and guitar you already own. Adapt one to your gear →
It depends on the song. On a generic five-knob amp, Man in the Box starts at Gain 6, Bass 6, Middle 4, Treble 6, Presence 5, Reverb 2; Nutshell starts at Gain 4.5, Bass 5, Middle 7, Treble 6, Presence 5, Reverb 3. These are starting points, not the settings used on the records.
Man in the Box: 1985 G&L Rampage; Bogner-modified Marshall, talk box on the hook. Nutshell: Ovation acoustic, electric not documented; Acoustic via its own pickup, electric amp not documented. Each song page lists the sources behind its rig.
Yes. What carries these sounds is the gain structure, the EQ curve, the pickup position and the order of the effects, and all four can be rebuilt on other equipment. Tonelify rewrites each starting point for the amp and guitar you own.
