FAQ

Common Questions About the Underdog Tone

  1. What amp was Underdog recorded with?

    Every one of the Underdog 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 Underdog?

    The Gibson Les Paul Deluxe appears on the most Underdog 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 Underdog sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Underdog we've catalogued, the median is gain 4 (range 4–4), 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 Underdog songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Underdog broken down, including "Spooky" and "Do It or Die". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
