Common Questions About the Fiction Tone
What amp was Fiction recorded with?
Every one of the Fiction tracks in our catalog was tracked on an Engl Powerball (E645). 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 Fiction?
The ESP LTD EC-1000 appears on the most Fiction 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 Fiction sound?
Across the 7 guitar tracks from Fiction we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 5.5, mid 5.5, treble 7 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 Fiction?
The Ibanez Tube Screamer TS-9 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.
