FAQ

Common Questions About the m b v Tone

  1. What amp was m b v recorded with?

    Every one of the m b v tracks in our catalog was tracked on a 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 m b v?

    The Jazzmaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster) appears on the most m b v 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 m b v sound?

    Across the 7 guitar tracks from m b v we've catalogued, the median is gain 3.5 (range 3.5–6), with bass 5, mid 5, treble 6 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 m b v?

    The Boss TR-2 Tremolo shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Boss RV-6 Reverb (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.

  5. How many m b v songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 7 tracks from m b v broken down, including "In Another Way" and "Nothing Is". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
