FAQ

Common Questions About the International Velvet Tone

  1. What amp was International Velvet recorded with?

    Every one of the International Velvet 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.

  2. What guitar was used on International Velvet?

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

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from International Velvet we've catalogued, the median is gain 5.5 (range 5.5–5.5), with bass 5.5, 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.

  4. What pedals are on International Velvet?

    The Boss CE-2 Chorus shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the MXR Distortion+. 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 International Velvet songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from International Velvet broken down, including "Road Rage" and "Mulder and Scully". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
