Common Questions About the The Swing Tone
What amp was The Swing recorded with?
Every one of the The Swing tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus. 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 The Swing?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender Player Stratocaster) appears on the most The Swing 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 The Swing sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from The Swing 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 The Swing?
The Boss CE-2 Chorus shows up on the most tracks here. 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 The Swing songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 3 tracks from The Swing broken down, including "Original Sin" and "Burn for You". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
