FAQ

Common Questions About the Bang Tone

  1. What amp was Bang recorded with?

    Every one of the Bang tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Super Lead (modern equivalent: Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue). 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 Bang?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Bang 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 Bang sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Bang we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), 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.

  4. What pedals are on Bang?

    The Maestro Echoplex EP-3 Tape Delay 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.

  5. How many Bang songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Bang broken down, including "Standing in the Rain" and "Mystery". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
