Common Questions About the Gorillaz Tone
What amp was Gorillaz recorded with?
Every one of the Gorillaz tracks in our catalog was tracked on an AC30 (modern equivalent: 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 Gorillaz?
The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Telecaster) appears on the most Gorillaz 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 Gorillaz sound?
Across the 7 guitar tracks from Gorillaz we've catalogued, the median is gain 5.5 (range 5.5–5.5), with bass 5.5, mid 6, 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.
How many Gorillaz songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 7 tracks from Gorillaz broken down, including "5/4" and "Clint Eastwood". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
