FAQ

Common Questions About the Dead Man's Party Tone

  1. What amp was Dead Man's Party recorded with?

    Every one of the Dead Man's Party 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 Dead Man's Party?

    The Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH FR (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Dead Man's Party 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 Dead Man's Party sound?

    Across the 5 guitar tracks from Dead Man's Party we've catalogued, the median is gain 4 (range 4–4), 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. How many Dead Man's Party songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 5 tracks from Dead Man's Party broken down, including "Dead Man's Party" and "Just Another Day". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
