FAQ

Common Questions About the Atlas Tone

  1. What amp was Atlas recorded with?

    Every one of the Atlas tracks in our catalog was tracked on a 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 Atlas?

    The Jaguar (modern equivalent: Fender Player Jaguar) appears on the most Atlas 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 Atlas sound?

    Across the 5 guitar tracks from Atlas we've catalogued, the median is gain 2.5 (range 2.5–2.5), with bass 5.5, mid 5, treble 5.5 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. What pedals are on Atlas?

    The MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano. Every track breakdown lists that song's full signal chain in order, and the match engine substitutes what you own for what you don't.

  5. How many Atlas songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 5 tracks from Atlas broken down, including "Crime" and "Had to Hear". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
