FAQ

Common Questions About the Coaster Tone

  1. What amp was Coaster recorded with?

    Every one of the Coaster 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 Coaster?

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

    Across the 7 guitar tracks from Coaster we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 5.5, 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.

  4. What pedals are on Coaster?

    The ProCo Rat 2 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 Coaster songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 7 tracks from Coaster broken down, including "We Called It America" and "Creeping Out Sara". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
