Common Questions About the Upside Downside Tone
What amp was Upside Downside recorded with?
Every one of the Upside Downside tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fender Silverface Twin Reverb. 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 Upside Downside?
The Telecaster (replica: Fender Mike Stern Telecaster) appears on the most Upside Downside 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 Upside Downside sound?
Across the 4 guitar tracks from Upside Downside we've catalogued, the median is gain 3 (range 3–3), 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 Upside Downside?
The Boss DS-1 shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Boss CE-2 Chorus. 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.
