FAQ

Common Questions About the Daybreaker Tone

  1. What amp was Daybreaker recorded with?

    Every one of the Daybreaker tracks in our catalog was tracked on an EVH 5150III 100W. 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 Daybreaker?

    The ESP E-II Eclipse (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Daybreaker 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 Daybreaker sound?

    Across the 8 guitar tracks from Daybreaker we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 6, mid 5, 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 Daybreaker songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 8 tracks from Daybreaker broken down, including "Daybreak" and "Devil's Island". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
