FAQ

Common Questions About the 12 Stones Tone

  1. What amp was 12 Stones recorded with?

    Every one of the 12 Stones tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.

  2. What guitar was used on 12 Stones?

    The PRS McCarty 594 (a modern equivalent) appears on the most 12 Stones tracks in our catalog. You don't need one - the settings are calibrated to the recorded tone, so they translate to the guitar you already have.

  3. What amp settings do I need for the 12 Stones sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from 12 Stones we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 6, mid 5, treble 6 on a 0–10 scale. That's the record's window rather than any one song's recipe - pick a track above for the exact knob positions it was recorded with.

  4. How many 12 Stones songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 4 tracks from 12 Stones broken down, including "Broken" and "Eric's Song". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
