Common Questions About the Experiment Tone
What amp was Experiment recorded with?
Every one of the Experiment tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired. 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 Experiment?
The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Telecaster) appears on the most Experiment 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 Experiment sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Experiment we've catalogued, the median is gain 4.5 (range 4.5–4.5), with bass 5.5, 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.
What pedals are on Experiment?
The Boss DS-1 shows up on the most tracks here. Every track breakdown lists that song's full signal chain in order, and the match engine substitutes what you own for what you don't.
How many Experiment songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Experiment broken down, including "Good as You" and "Lose It". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
