Common Questions About the Magic Disk Tone
What amp was Magic Disk recorded with?
Every one of the Magic Disk tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Bogner Ecstasy 101B. ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.
What guitar was used on Magic Disk?
The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue (Custom Shop)) appears on the most Magic Disk 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.
What amp settings do I need for the Magic Disk sound?
Across the 5 guitar tracks from Magic Disk we've catalogued, the median is gain 5.5 (range 5.5–5.5), with bass 5, mid 6.5, 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.
What pedals are on Magic Disk?
The Boss DD-20 Giga Delay shows up on the most tracks here. Every track breakdown lists that song's full signal chain in order, and the match engine substitutes what you own for what you don't.
How many Magic Disk songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 5 tracks from Magic Disk broken down, including "Solanin" and "Magic Disk". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
