Common Questions About the Magica Tone
What amp was Magica recorded with?
Every one of the Magica 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 Magica?
The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Magica 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 Magica sound?
Across the 8 guitar tracks from Magica we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 5.5, mid 6, 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.
How many Magica songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 8 tracks from Magica broken down, including "Feed My Head" and "Turn to Stone". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
