FAQ

Common Questions About the Follow the Blind Tone

  1. What amp was Follow the Blind recorded with?

    Every one of the Follow the Blind tracks in our catalog was tracked on an Engl Fireball 100 (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.

  2. What guitar was used on Follow the Blind?

    The ESP LTD EC-1000 (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Follow the Blind 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 Follow the Blind sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from Follow the Blind we've catalogued, the median is gain 7.5 (range 7.5–7.5), with bass 6, 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 Follow the Blind?

    The Ibanez Tube Screamer TS-9 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 Follow the Blind songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 4 tracks from Follow the Blind broken down, including "Beyond the Ice" and "Follow the Blind". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
