FAQ

Common Questions About the Pictures at Eleven Tone

  1. What amp was Pictures at Eleven recorded with?

    Every one of the Pictures at Eleven tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Twin Reverb (modern equivalent: Fender '65 Twin 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 Pictures at Eleven?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Pictures at Eleven 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 Pictures at Eleven sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from Pictures at Eleven we've catalogued, the median is gain 5.5 (range 5.5–5.5), with bass 5.5, 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.

  4. What pedals are on Pictures at Eleven?

    The Boss DD-3 Digital Delay (a modern equivalent) shows up on the most tracks here. 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 Pictures at Eleven songs can I dial in here?
