Common Questions About the Smack Smash Tone
What amp was Smack Smash recorded with?
Every one of the Smack Smash 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.
What guitar was used on Smack Smash?
The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s) appears on the most Smack Smash 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.
What amp settings do I need for the Smack Smash sound?
Across the 4 guitar tracks from Smack Smash we've catalogued, the median is gain 5.5 (range 5.5–5.5), with bass 5, 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.
What pedals are on Smack Smash?
The Boss DS-1 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.
