FAQ

Common Questions About the Motörizer Tone

  1. What amp was Motörizer recorded with?

    Every one of the Motörizer tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JMP 2203 Master Volume. 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 Motörizer?

    The Gibson Les Paul Custom appears on the most Motörizer 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 Motörizer sound?

    Across the 8 guitar tracks from Motörizer we've catalogued, the median is gain 7.5 (range 7.5–7.5), with bass 5.5, mid 6.5, 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.

  4. How many Motörizer songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 8 tracks from Motörizer broken down, including "Back on the Chain" and "Buried Alive". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
