Common Questions About the Nine Lives Tone
What amp was Nine Lives recorded with?
Every one of the Nine Lives tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Super Lead (modern equivalent: Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue). 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 Nine Lives?
The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Nine Lives 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 Nine Lives sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Nine Lives we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), 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.
