Common Questions About the Decemberunderground Tone

  1. What amp was Decemberunderground recorded with?

    Every one of the Decemberunderground 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 Decemberunderground?

    The Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster (AVRI Reissue) appears on the most Decemberunderground 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 Decemberunderground sound?

    Across the 12 guitar tracks from Decemberunderground we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 5.5–7), with bass 5, mid 6, treble 7 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.

    ToneMirror has 12 tracks from Decemberunderground broken down, including "Miss Murder" and "Prelude 12/21". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
