Common Questions About the Fire Down Under Tone

  1. What amp was Fire Down Under recorded with?

    Every one of the Fire Down Under 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.

  2. What guitar was used on Fire Down Under?

    The Gibson Flying V appears on the most Fire Down Under 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 Fire Down Under sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Fire Down Under we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 5, mid 6, treble 6 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.
