FAQ

Common Questions About the Skin Deep Tone

  1. What amp was Skin Deep recorded with?

    Every one of the Skin Deep tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fender '59 Bassman LTD Reissue. 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 Skin Deep?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Skin Deep 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 Skin Deep sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Skin Deep we've catalogued, the median is gain 5 (range 5–5), with bass 5, mid 6.5, 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.

  4. How many Skin Deep songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Skin Deep broken down, including "Best Damn Fool" and "Every Time I Sing The Blues". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
