Common Questions About the Volume 1 Tone
What amp was Volume 1 recorded with?
Every one of the Volume 1 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.
What guitar was used on Volume 1?
The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Volume 1 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.
What amp settings do I need for the Volume 1 sound?
Across the 5 guitar tracks from Volume 1 we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 6, 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.
How many Volume 1 songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 5 tracks from Volume 1 broken down, including "96 Quite Bitter Beings" and "Flesh into Gear". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
