FAQ

Common Questions About the Chrome Tone

  1. What amp was Chrome recorded with?

    Every one of the Chrome 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 Chrome?

    The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Chrome 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 Chrome sound?

    Across the 6 guitar tracks from Chrome we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), with bass 5.5, mid 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. How many Chrome songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 6 tracks from Chrome broken down, including "I Want to Touch You" and "Pain". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
