Common Questions About the Ace Frehley Tone
What amp was Ace Frehley recorded with?
Every one of the Ace Frehley tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Super Lead (modern equivalent: Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue). ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.
What guitar was used on Ace Frehley?
The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue) appears on the most Ace Frehley tracks in our catalog, with the Gibson Les Paul Custom also turning up. You don't need one - the settings are calibrated to the recorded tone, so they translate to the guitar you already have.
