FAQ

Common Questions About the Rocket Tone

  1. What amp was Rocket recorded with?

    Every one of the Rocket tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fender Champion 40. 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 Rocket?

    The Mustang (modern equivalent: Fender Player Mustang) appears on the most Rocket 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 Rocket sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from Rocket we've catalogued, the median is gain 2 (range 2–2), with bass 5, mid 6, treble 6 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 Rocket songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 4 tracks from Rocket broken down, including "Bobby" and "Brick". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
