FAQ

Common Questions About the Crash Love Tone

  1. What amp was Crash Love recorded with?

    Every one of the Crash Love 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 Crash Love?

    The Gibson Les Paul Custom appears on the most Crash Love 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 Crash Love sound?

    Across the 5 guitar tracks from Crash Love we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 5.5, mid 6, treble 6.5 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 Crash Love songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 5 tracks from Crash Love broken down, including "Beautiful Thieves" and "Medicate". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
