FAQ

Common Questions About the Lovesexy Tone

  1. What amp was Lovesexy recorded with?

    Every one of the Lovesexy tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Mesa Boogie Mark IIB. 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 Lovesexy?

    The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Telecaster) appears on the most Lovesexy 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 Lovesexy sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Lovesexy we've catalogued, the median is gain 4.5 (range 4.5–4.5), 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.

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

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Lovesexy broken down, including "Alphabet St." and "Glam Slam". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
