FAQ

Common Questions About the Jesus Freak Tone

  1. What amp was Jesus Freak recorded with?

    Every one of the Jesus Freak tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. 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 Jesus Freak?

    The Gibson SG Standard appears on the most Jesus Freak 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 Jesus Freak sound?

    Across the 5 guitar tracks from Jesus Freak we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), with bass 6.5, mid 5.5, 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.

  4. How many Jesus Freak songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 5 tracks from Jesus Freak broken down, including "Jesus Freak" and "Colored People". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
