Common Questions About the Golden Rule Tone
What amp was Golden Rule recorded with?
Every one of the Golden Rule tracks in our catalog was tracked on a 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 Golden Rule?
The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Telecaster) appears on the most Golden Rule 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 Golden Rule sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Golden Rule we've catalogued, the median is gain 5.5 (range 5.5–5.5), 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.
What pedals are on Golden Rule?
The Ibanez Tube Screamer TS-9 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.
