Common Questions About the Radio Ethiopia Tone
What amp was Radio Ethiopia recorded with?
Every one of the Radio Ethiopia tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Twin Reverb (modern equivalent: 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 Radio Ethiopia?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Radio Ethiopia 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 Radio Ethiopia sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Radio Ethiopia we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 5, mid 6, treble 7 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.
