FAQ

Common Questions About the Bloom Tone

  1. What amp was Bloom recorded with?

    Every one of the Bloom tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fender '65 Deluxe 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 Bloom?

    The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Epiphone Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Bloom 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 Bloom sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Bloom we've catalogued, the median is gain 2.5 (range 2.5–3), with bass 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 Bloom?

    The Strymon Timeline shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Boss RV-6 Reverb (a modern equivalent). 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 Bloom songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Bloom broken down, including "Wishes" and "Lazuli". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
