FAQ

Common Questions About the Power Play Tone

  1. What amp was Power Play recorded with?

    Every one of the Power Play tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Super Lead (modern equivalent: Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead 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 Power Play?

    The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s) appears on the most Power Play 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 Power Play sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Power Play we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 5.5–6.5), with bass 5.3, 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 Power Play songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Power Play broken down, including "Enough Is Enough" and "Anything You Want, You Got It". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
