Common Questions About the Colma Tone
What amp was Colma recorded with?
Every one of the Colma tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Peavey 5150. 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 Colma?
The Gibson Les Paul Custom appears on the most Colma 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 Colma sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Colma we've catalogued, the median is gain 2.5 (range 2.5–2.5), with bass 5, mid 5.5, 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.
What pedals are on Colma?
The Boss DD-3 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.
