FAQ

Common Questions About the Lucille Tone

  1. What amp was Lucille recorded with?

    Every one of the Lucille tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Twin Reverb (modern equivalent: Fender '65 Twin 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 Lucille?

    The Gibson ES-355 appears on the most Lucille 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 Lucille sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Lucille we've catalogued, the median is gain 3.5 (range 3.5–3.5), with bass 6, 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.

  4. How many Lucille songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Lucille broken down, including "Lucille" and "No Money, No Luck Blues". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
