Common Questions About the Greatest Hits Tone
What amp was Greatest Hits recorded with?
Every one of the Greatest Hits tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall Major (200W) - 'The Pig'. 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 Greatest Hits?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster) appears on the most Greatest Hits 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 Greatest Hits sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Greatest Hits we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), with bass 6, 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.
