Common Questions About the Zion Tone
What amp was Zion recorded with?
Every one of the Zion tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired. 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 Zion?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Zion 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 Zion sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Zion we've catalogued, the median is gain 3 (range 3–3), with bass 5.5, mid 5, treble 5.5 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 Zion?
The Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano. 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 Zion songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Zion broken down, including "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" and "Relentless". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
