Common Questions About the Bi-2 Tone
What amp was Bi-2 recorded with?
Every one of the Bi-2 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 Bi-2?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Bi-2 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 Bi-2 sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Bi-2 we've catalogued, the median is gain 5 (range 5–5), with bass 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.
What pedals are on Bi-2?
The Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man 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.
How many Bi-2 songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Bi-2 broken down, including "Polkovniku Nikto Ne Pishet" and "Serdtse". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
