Common Questions About the Notorious Tone
What amp was Notorious recorded with?
Every one of the Notorious tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM800 2203. 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 Notorious?
The Melody Maker (replica: Gibson Joan Jett Melody Maker (Joan Jett Sig)) appears on the most Notorious 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 Notorious sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Notorious 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.
