FAQ

Common Questions About the The Incident Tone

  1. What amp was The Incident recorded with?

    Every one of the The Incident tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM800 2203. ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.

  2. What guitar was used on The Incident?

    The PRS Custom 24 appears on the most The Incident 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.

  3. What amp settings do I need for the The Incident sound?

    Across the 8 guitar tracks from The Incident we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), with bass 5.5, 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.

  4. What pedals are on The Incident?

    The Boss DD-3 Digital Delay 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.

  5. How many The Incident songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 8 tracks from The Incident broken down, including "Circle of Manias" and "Drawing the Line". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
