Common Questions About the Outside Tone
What amp was Outside recorded with?
Every one of the Outside 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 Outside?
The Parker Fly Deluxe appears on the most Outside 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 Outside sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Outside we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 6, mid 5, treble 6.5 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.
