Common Questions About the Night Shift Tone
What amp was Night Shift recorded with?
Every one of the Night Shift tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Super Lead (modern equivalent: Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue). 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 Night Shift?
The Gibson SG Standard appears on the most Night Shift 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 Night Shift sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Night Shift we've catalogued, the median is gain 5.5 (range 5.5–5.5), with bass 5, mid 7, 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 Night Shift songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Night Shift broken down, including "Burnin' the Midnight Oil" and "Drivin' Wheel". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
