Common Questions About the Alaska Tone
What amp was Alaska recorded with?
Every one of the Alaska tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Mesa Boogie Mark V (a modern equivalent). 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 Alaska?
The PRS Custom 24 appears on the most Alaska 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 Alaska sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Alaska we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 5, mid 7, treble 7 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.
How many Alaska songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Alaska broken down, including "Selkies: The Endless Obsession" and "The Primer". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
