Common Questions About the Black Sunday Tone
What amp was Black Sunday recorded with?
Every one of the Black Sunday tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue. 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 Black Sunday?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Black Sunday 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 Black Sunday sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Black Sunday we've catalogued, the median is gain 3 (range 3–3), with bass 5.5, mid 6, 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.
What pedals are on Black Sunday?
The Dunlop Cry Baby GCB95 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.
