FAQ

Common Questions About the Burnin' Tone

  1. What amp was Burnin' recorded with?

    Every one of the Burnin' tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Tweed Deluxe (modern equivalent: Fender '57 Custom Deluxe (Tweed Deluxe)). 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 Burnin'?

    The Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster (AVRI Reissue) appears on the most Burnin' 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 Burnin' sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Burnin' we've catalogued, the median is gain 5 (range 5–5), with bass 5, mid 7, treble 6 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 Burnin' songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Burnin' broken down, including "Boom Boom" and "Blues Before Sunrise". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
