Common Questions About the True Tone
What amp was True recorded with?
Every one of the True tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Hot Rod DeVille (modern equivalent: Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV). 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 True?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most True 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 True sound?
Across the 7 guitar tracks from True we've catalogued, the median is gain 4.5 (range 4.5–4.5), 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.
What pedals are on True?
The Boss CE-2 Chorus 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 True songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 7 tracks from True broken down, including "Lies and Truth" and "Flower". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
