FAQ

Common Questions About the 5 Tone

  1. What amp was 5 recorded with?

    Every one of the 5 tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface). 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 5?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender Standard Stratocaster) appears on the most 5 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 5 sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from 5 we've catalogued, the median is gain 2 (range 2–2), with bass 5.3, mid 5.5, treble 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 5 songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 4 tracks from 5 broken down, including "Don't Cry Sister" and "Sensitive Kind". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
