FAQ

Common Questions About the I'mperfect Tone

  1. What amp was I'mperfect recorded with?

    Every one of the I'mperfect 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 I'mperfect?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most I'mperfect 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 I'mperfect sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from I'mperfect we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 4, mid 6.5, treble 7.5 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 I'mperfect?

    The Boss DS-1 shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man. 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 I'mperfect songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from I'mperfect broken down, including "Abnormalize" and "Missing Ling". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
