Common Questions About the Lifesong Tone
What amp was Lifesong recorded with?
Every one of the Lifesong tracks in our catalog was tracked on an AC30 (modern equivalent: Vox AC30 C2). 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 Lifesong?
The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Telecaster) appears on the most Lifesong 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.

Across the 2 guitar tracks from Lifesong we've catalogued, the median is gain 3 (range 3–3), 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 Lifesong?
The MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay (a modern equivalent) shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2 Reverb (a modern equivalent). 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.
