FAQ

Common Questions About the Strange Beautiful Music Tone

  1. What amp was Strange Beautiful Music recorded with?

    Every one of the Strange Beautiful Music 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.

  2. What guitar was used on Strange Beautiful Music?

    The Ibanez JS1200 Joe Satriani (a replica) appears on the most Strange Beautiful Music 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 Strange Beautiful Music sound?

    Across the 11 guitar tracks from Strange Beautiful Music we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), 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. What pedals are on Strange Beautiful Music?

    The Boss DD-3 Digital 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.

    ToneMirror has 11 tracks from Strange Beautiful Music broken down, including "New Last Jam" and "Oriental Melody". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
