Common Questions About the El Diablo Tone
What amp was El Diablo recorded with?
Every one of the El Diablo 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.
What guitar was used on El Diablo?
The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s) appears on the most El Diablo 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 El Diablo sound?
Across the 4 guitar tracks from El Diablo we've catalogued, the median is gain 5.5 (range 5.5–5.5), 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 El Diablo?
The Boss CE-2 Chorus shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Cry Baby (modern equivalent: Dunlop Cry Baby 95Q Wah). 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 El Diablo songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 4 tracks from El Diablo broken down, including "El Diablo" and "Il volo". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
