FAQ

Common Questions About the Think Tank Tone

  1. What amp was Think Tank recorded with?

    Every one of the Think Tank 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.

  2. What guitar was used on Think Tank?

    The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Telecaster) appears on the most Think Tank 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 Think Tank sound?

    Across the 5 guitar tracks from Think Tank we've catalogued, the median is gain 5.5 (range 4–7), 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.

  4. What pedals are on Think Tank?

    The Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi (NYC) 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 Think Tank songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 5 tracks from Think Tank broken down, including "Out of Time" and "Crazy Beat". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
