FAQ

Common Questions About the Always & Forever Tone

  1. What amp was Always & Forever recorded with?

    Every one of the Always & Forever tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Deluxe Reverb (modern equivalent: Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue). 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 Always & Forever?

    The Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster (AVRI Reissue) appears on the most Always & Forever 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 Always & Forever sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Always & Forever we've catalogued, the median is gain 1.5 (range 1.5–1.5), with bass 4, 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 Always & Forever songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Always & Forever broken down, including "Forever and Ever, Amen" and "I Told You So". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
