FAQ

Common Questions About the Thrak Tone

  1. What amp was Thrak recorded with?

    Every one of the Thrak 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.

  2. What guitar was used on Thrak?

    The Gibson Les Paul Custom appears on the most Thrak 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 Thrak sound?

    Across the 7 guitar tracks from Thrak we've catalogued, the median is gain 2.5 (range 2.5–6.5), 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. What pedals are on Thrak?

    The Boss DD-3 Digital Delay 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.

  5. How many Thrak songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 7 tracks from Thrak broken down, including "One Time" and "People". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
