FAQ

Common Questions About the Antipop Tone

  1. What amp was Antipop recorded with?

    Every one of the Antipop 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 Antipop?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster) appears on the most Antipop 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 Antipop sound?

    Across the 5 guitar tracks from Antipop we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), with bass 5, mid 5.5, 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.

  4. How many Antipop songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 5 tracks from Antipop broken down, including "Lacquer Head" and "Electric Uncle Sam". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
