FAQ

Common Questions About the Showdown! Tone

  1. What amp was Showdown! recorded with?

    Every one of the Showdown! tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Twin (modern equivalent: Fender Twin Amp (Black Knob)). 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 Showdown!?

    The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender Custom Shop 1963 Telecaster Relic) appears on the most Showdown! 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 Showdown! sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Showdown! we've catalogued, the median is gain 4.5 (range 4.5–4.5), with bass 5, mid 7, 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.

  4. How many Showdown! songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Showdown! broken down, including "Black Cat Bone" and "Albert's Alley". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
