FAQ

Common Questions About the Technical Difficulties Tone

  1. What amp was Technical Difficulties recorded with?

    Every one of the Technical Difficulties 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 Technical Difficulties?

    The Ibanez RG550 Genesis appears on the most Technical Difficulties 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 Technical Difficulties sound?

    Across the 6 guitar tracks from Technical Difficulties we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), with bass 5, mid 6.5, 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 Technical Difficulties songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 6 tracks from Technical Difficulties broken down, including "Technical Difficulties" and "17th Moon". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
