Common Questions About the One Second Tone
What amp was One Second recorded with?
Every one of the One Second tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb. 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 One Second?
The ESP E-II Eclipse (a modern equivalent) appears on the most One Second 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 One Second sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from One Second we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 6, mid 5, treble 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.
How many One Second songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 3 tracks from One Second broken down, including "Say Just Words" and "One Second". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
