Common Questions About the Us Tone
What amp was Us recorded with?
Every one of the Us tracks in our catalog was tracked on an AC30 (modern equivalent: Vox AC30 C2). 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 Us?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Us 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 Us sound?
Across the 4 guitar tracks from Us we've catalogued, the median is gain 5 (range 5–5), with bass 5, mid 6, 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.
How many Us songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 4 tracks from Us broken down, including "Kiss That Frog" and "Steam". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
