Common Questions About the Drift Tone
What amp was Drift recorded with?
Every one of the Drift tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fractal Audio Axe-FX III (a modern equivalent). 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 Drift?
The Jackson X Series Soloist Arch Top SLAT7 MS appears on the most Drift 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 Drift sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Drift we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 6, mid 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.
How many Drift songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Drift broken down, including "Snowblood" and "Skyline". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
