FAQ

Common Questions About the Backlash Tone

  1. What amp was Backlash recorded with?

    Every one of the Backlash tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM800 2203. 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 Backlash?

    The PRS Custom 24 appears on the most Backlash 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 Backlash sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Backlash we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 5.5, 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 Backlash songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Backlash broken down, including "Straight to Your Heart" and "Time Stood Still". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
