FAQ

Common Questions About the Albatross Tone

  1. What amp was Albatross recorded with?

    Every one of the Albatross tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Bogner Ecstasy 101B. 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 Albatross?

    The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s) appears on the most Albatross 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 Albatross sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Albatross we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), with bass 5.5, 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.

  4. What pedals are on Albatross?

    The Boss DD-5 Digital Delay 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 Albatross songs can I dial in here?

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