FAQ

Common Questions About the Walls and Bridges Tone

  1. What amp was Walls and Bridges recorded with?

    Every one of the Walls and Bridges tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Twin Reverb (modern equivalent: Fender '65 Twin Reverb 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 Walls and Bridges?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Walls and Bridges 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 Walls and Bridges sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Walls and Bridges we've catalogued, the median is gain 3.5 (range 3.5–3.5), 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. How many Walls and Bridges songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Walls and Bridges broken down, including "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night" and "#9 Dream". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
