Common Questions About the Free Hand Tone
What amp was Free Hand recorded with?
Every one of the Free Hand tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Hiwatt DR103 Custom 100. 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 Free Hand?
The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Free Hand 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 Free Hand sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Free Hand we've catalogued, the median is gain 4 (range 4–4), with bass 5.5, mid 6.5, 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.
