Recorded tone character

Crunchy power-tube overdrive pushed hard by the Rangemaster, thick rather than fuzzy.

Very lean at the amp; low-end body comes from the guitar/cab and arrangement.

Extremely strong, hollow and boxy.

Treble

High and cutting.

Brightness / presence

Very forward.

Compression

Cranked-amp compression with a heavy, immediate attack.

Effects

Modified Dallas-Arbiter Rangemaster is the key front-end boost; no reverb is needed for the riff.

Iron Man is one of the strongest evidence cases in the batch. Guitar World publishes the original guitar, pickup, Laney, cabinet, Rangemaster and physical amp settings. Tonafy's canonical six values remain a tonal representation rather than a literal copy of every original control.
