FAQ

Common Questions About the Wheelhouse Tone

  1. What amp was Wheelhouse recorded with?

    Every one of the Wheelhouse tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Dr. Z Maz 18 Jr NR. 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 Wheelhouse?

    The Crook Custom Paisley T appears on the most Wheelhouse 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 Wheelhouse sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Wheelhouse we've catalogued, the median is gain 4.5 (range 4.5–4.5), with bass 5, mid 6, 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.

  4. What pedals are on Wheelhouse?

    The MXR Dyna Comp shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay. 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 Wheelhouse songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Wheelhouse broken down, including "Southern Comfort Zone" and "Beat This Summer". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
