FAQ

Common Questions About the Vulgar Tone

  1. What amp was Vulgar recorded with?

    Every one of the Vulgar 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 Vulgar?

    The ESP E-II Eclipse (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Vulgar 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 Vulgar sound?

    Across the 8 guitar tracks from Vulgar we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), 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.

  4. How many Vulgar songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 8 tracks from Vulgar broken down, including "Obscure" and "Audience Killer Loop". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
