FAQ

Common Questions About the Hold On Tight Tone

  1. What amp was Hold On Tight recorded with?

    Every one of the Hold On Tight tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM800 2203. ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.

  2. What guitar was used on Hold On Tight?

    The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Hold On Tight 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.

  3. What amp settings do I need for the Hold On Tight sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from Hold On Tight we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 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.

  4. How many Hold On Tight songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 4 tracks from Hold On Tight broken down, including "Candles" and "Homecoming". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
