FAQ

Common Questions About the Conspiracy Tone

  1. What amp was Conspiracy recorded with?

    Every one of the Conspiracy tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM800 2203. 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 Conspiracy?

    The Gibson Flying V appears on the most Conspiracy 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 Conspiracy sound?

    Across the 6 guitar tracks from Conspiracy we've catalogued, the median is gain 7.5 (range 7.5–7.5), with bass 6, mid 5.5, 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 Conspiracy songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 6 tracks from Conspiracy broken down, including "Sleepless Nights" and "A Visit from the Dead". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
