Common Questions About the Hold Out Tone
What amp was Hold Out recorded with?
Every one of the Hold Out tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Twin Reverb (modern equivalent: Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue). 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 Hold Out?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Hold Out 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 Hold Out sound?
Across the 4 guitar tracks from Hold Out 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.
