FAQ

Common Questions About the Kerosene Hat Tone

  1. What amp was Kerosene Hat recorded with?

    Every one of the Kerosene Hat 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 Kerosene Hat?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender Standard Stratocaster) appears on the most Kerosene Hat 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 Kerosene Hat sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Kerosene Hat we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 5, mid 5, treble 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.

  4. What pedals are on Kerosene Hat?

    The Big Muff (modern equivalent: Electro-Harmonix Green Russian Big Muff) shows up on the most tracks here. 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.
