Common Questions About the United Tone
What amp was United recorded with?
Every one of the United 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 United?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most United 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 United sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from United we've catalogued, the median is gain 2.5 (range 2.5–2.5), 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.
How many United songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 2 tracks from United broken down, including "If I Ever Feel Better" and "Too Young". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
