Common Questions About the Science Fiction Tone
What amp was Science Fiction recorded with?
Every one of the Science Fiction 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 Science Fiction?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Science Fiction 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 Science Fiction sound?
Across the 8 guitar tracks from Science Fiction we've catalogued, the median is gain 5 (range 5–5), with bass 5, mid 5.5, treble 6 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 Science Fiction?
The Boss DS-1 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.

ToneMirror has 8 tracks from Science Fiction broken down, including "Can't Get It Out" and "Could Never Be Heaven". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
