FAQ

Common Questions About the The Gold Experience Tone

  1. What amp was The Gold Experience recorded with?

    Every one of the The Gold Experience 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 The Gold Experience?

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

    Across the 6 guitar tracks from The Gold Experience we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), 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 The Gold Experience songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 6 tracks from The Gold Experience broken down, including "Dolphin" and "Endorphinmachine". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
