FAQ

Common Questions About the The Healer Tone

  1. What amp was The Healer recorded with?

    Every one of the The Healer tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Mark I (modern equivalent: Mesa Boogie Mark I 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 The Healer?

    The PRS Custom 24 appears on the most The Healer 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 The Healer sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from The Healer we've catalogued, the median is gain 5.5 (range 4.5–5.5), with bass 5, mid 6.5, 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 The Healer songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 4 tracks from The Healer broken down, including "I'm in the Mood" and "Baby Lee". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
