FAQ

Common Questions About the Earth Tone

  1. What amp was Earth recorded with?

    Every one of the Earth 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 Earth?

    The Gibson Les Paul Custom appears on the most Earth 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 Earth sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Earth we've catalogued, the median is gain 4.5 (range 4.5–4.5), with bass 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. How many Earth songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Earth broken down, including "Count on Me" and "Runaway". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
