Common Questions About the eMOTIVe Tone

  1. What amp was eMOTIVe recorded with?

    Every one of the eMOTIVe 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 eMOTIVe?

    The PRS Custom 24 appears on the most eMOTIVe 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 eMOTIVe sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from eMOTIVe we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6–7), with bass 5.8, mid 5.3, treble 6.3 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.
