FAQ

Common Questions About the The Blitz Tone

  1. What amp was The Blitz recorded with?

    Every one of the The Blitz 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 The Blitz?

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

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from The Blitz we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 6, 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. How many The Blitz songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from The Blitz broken down, including "Midnite Maniac" and "Our Love". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
