FAQ

Common Questions About the Isn't Anything Tone

  1. What amp was Isn't Anything recorded with?

    Every one of the Isn't Anything 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.

  2. What guitar was used on Isn't Anything?

    The Jazzmaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster) appears on the most Isn't Anything 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 Isn't Anything sound?

    Across the 8 guitar tracks from Isn't Anything we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 5.5, mid 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 Isn't Anything?

    The Marshall ShredMaster (a modern equivalent) 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 Isn't Anything songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 8 tracks from Isn't Anything broken down, including "Lose My Breath" and "Nothing Much to Lose". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
