Common Questions About the Bandstand Tone
What amp was Bandstand recorded with?
Every one of the Bandstand tracks in our catalog was tracked on an AC30 (modern equivalent: Vox AC30 C2). 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 Bandstand?
The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster) appears on the most Bandstand 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 Bandstand sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Bandstand we've catalogued, the median is gain 2 (range 2–2), with bass 5, mid 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.
