Common Questions About the Defying Gravity Tone

  1. What amp was Defying Gravity recorded with?

    Every one of the Defying Gravity tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue. ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Defying Gravity we've catalogued, the median is gain 3.5 (range 3.5–3.5), 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.

  3. What pedals are on Defying Gravity?

    The TC Electronic MojoMojo Overdrive shows up on the most tracks here. 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.
