FAQ

Common Questions About the The Scholars Tone

  1. What amp was The Scholars recorded with?

    Every one of the The Scholars tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Vox AC15 C1. 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 The Scholars?

    The Fender American Professional II Telecaster appears on the most The Scholars 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 The Scholars sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from The Scholars we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 5, mid 7, 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.

  4. What pedals are on The Scholars?

    The Lovepedal Purple Plexi shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the ProCo Rat 2. 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 The Scholars songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 4 tracks from The Scholars broken down, including "Gethsemane" and "Devereaux". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
