Common Questions About the QR III Tone
What amp was QR III recorded with?
Every one of the QR III 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.
What guitar was used on QR III?
The Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH HT (a modern equivalent) appears on the most QR III 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 QR III sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from QR III we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), 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.
How many QR III songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 3 tracks from QR III broken down, including "Slave to Love" and "Main Attraction". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
