Common Questions About the Parallels Tone
What amp was Parallels recorded with?
Every one of the Parallels 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 Parallels?
The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Parallels 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 Parallels sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Parallels we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), 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.
How many Parallels songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Parallels broken down, including "Eye to Eye" and "Life in Still Water". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
