FAQ

Common Questions About the Atomic Heart Tone

  1. What amp was Atomic Heart recorded with?

    Every one of the Atomic Heart tracks in our catalog was tracked on an AC30 (modern equivalent: Vox AC30 C2). 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 Atomic Heart?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Atomic Heart 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 Atomic Heart sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from Atomic Heart 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.

  4. What pedals are on Atomic Heart?

    The Boss CE-2 Chorus 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.

  5. How many Atomic Heart songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 4 tracks from Atomic Heart broken down, including "Innocent World" and "Tomorrow Never Knows". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
