FAQ

Common Questions About the Space Cadet Tone

  1. What amp was Space Cadet recorded with?

    Every one of the Space Cadet tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface). 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 Space Cadet?

    The Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster appears on the most Space Cadet 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 Space Cadet sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Space Cadet we've catalogued, the median is gain 5 (range 4–6), with bass 5.5, mid 5.5, 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. What pedals are on Space Cadet?

    The Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi (NYC) 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.

  5. How many Space Cadet songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Space Cadet broken down, including "I Wish I Was Stephen Malkmus" and "She Plays Bass". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
