Common Questions About the Microcastle Tone
What amp was Microcastle recorded with?
Every one of the Microcastle 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 Microcastle?
The Jaguar (modern equivalent: Fender Player Jaguar) appears on the most Microcastle 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 Microcastle sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Microcastle we've catalogued, the median is gain 5 (range 5–5), with bass 5, 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.
What pedals are on Microcastle?
The Boss DD-6 Digital Delay shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi (NYC). 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.
