FAQ

Common Questions About the Let Me In Tone

  1. What amp was Let Me In recorded with?

    Every one of the Let Me In tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Super Lead (modern equivalent: Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead 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 Let Me In?

    The Gibson Firebird appears on the most Let Me In 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 Let Me In sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Let Me In we've catalogued, the median is gain 5.5 (range 5.5–5.5), with bass 5, mid 6.5, treble 7 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 Let Me In songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Let Me In broken down, including "Illustrated Man" and "Life Is Hard". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
