Common Questions About the Hours Tone
What amp was Hours recorded with?
Every one of the Hours tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb. 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 Hours?
The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Telecaster) appears on the most Hours 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 Hours sound?
Across the 8 guitar tracks from Hours we've catalogued, the median is gain 7.5 (range 7.5–7.5), with bass 5.5, mid 5.5, treble 6.5 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.
What pedals are on Hours?
The Boss DS-1 shows up on the most tracks here. Every track breakdown lists that song's full signal chain in order, and the match engine substitutes what you own for what you don't.
