Common Questions About the Big Bang Tone
What amp was Big Bang recorded with?
Every one of the Big Bang tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue. ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.
What guitar was used on Big Bang?
The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Telecaster) appears on the most Big Bang 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.
What amp settings do I need for the Big Bang sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Big Bang we've catalogued, the median is gain 4 (range 4–4), 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.
What pedals are on Big Bang?
The Ibanez Tube Screamer TS-9 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.
How many Big Bang songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Big Bang broken down, including "Lanterna dos Afogados" and "Perplexo". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
