FAQ

Common Questions About the Heavy Petting Zoo Tone

  1. What amp was Heavy Petting Zoo recorded with?

    Every one of the Heavy Petting Zoo 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 Heavy Petting Zoo?

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

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Heavy Petting Zoo we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), 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.

    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.
