Common Questions About the Vertigo Tone
What amp was Vertigo recorded with?
Every one of the Vertigo 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 Vertigo?
The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender John 5 Ghost Telecaster) appears on the most Vertigo 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 Vertigo sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Vertigo we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 6, mid 5, 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.
How many Vertigo songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Vertigo broken down, including "Feisty Cadavers" and "Vertigo". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
