Common Questions About the Beat Tone
What amp was Beat recorded with?
Every one of the Beat tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus. 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 Beat?
The Gibson Les Paul Custom appears on the most Beat 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 Beat sound?
Across the 5 guitar tracks from Beat we've catalogued, the median is gain 3 (range 3–3), with bass 5, mid 6, 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.
How many Beat songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 5 tracks from Beat broken down, including "Waiting Man" and "Neurotica". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
