Common Questions About the Zaba Tone
What amp was Zaba recorded with?
Every one of the Zaba tracks in our catalog was tracked on a 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 Zaba?
The Jaguar (modern equivalent: Fender Player Jaguar) appears on the most Zaba 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 Zaba sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Zaba we've catalogued, the median is gain 3 (range 3–3), 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.
What pedals are on Zaba?
The MXR Phase 90 shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man. 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.
How many Zaba songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Zaba broken down, including "Gooey" and "Black Mambo". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
