FAQ

Common Questions About the Trick Tone

  1. What amp was Trick recorded with?

    Every one of the Trick tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue. 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 Trick?

    The Jazzmaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster) appears on the most Trick 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 Trick sound?

    Across the 8 guitar tracks from Trick we've catalogued, the median is gain 2.5 (range 2.5–2.5), with bass 5, mid 5.5, 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 Trick songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 8 tracks from Trick broken down, including "Mary" and "Change". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
