Common Questions About the Rock Action Tone
What amp was Rock Action recorded with?
Every one of the Rock Action 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 Rock Action?
The Jazzmaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster) appears on the most Rock Action 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 Rock Action sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Rock Action we've catalogued, the median is gain 3 (range 3–3), with bass 5, mid 5.5, 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 Rock Action?
The Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano (a modern equivalent). 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 Rock Action songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Rock Action broken down, including "Take Me Somewhere Nice" and "2 Rights Make 1 Wrong". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
