FAQ

Common Questions About the Coney Island Baby Tone

  1. What amp was Coney Island Baby recorded with?

    Every one of the Coney Island Baby tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Twin Reverb (modern equivalent: Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue). 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 Coney Island Baby?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Coney Island Baby 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 Coney Island Baby sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Coney Island Baby we've catalogued, the median is gain 2.5 (range 2.5–2.5), with bass 5, mid 5.5, treble 6 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 Coney Island Baby songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Coney Island Baby broken down, including "Kicks" and "Coney Island Baby". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
