FAQ

Common Questions About the In Dreams Tone

  1. What amp was In Dreams recorded with?

    Every one of the In Dreams 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 In Dreams?

    The Gibson ES-175 appears on the most In Dreams 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 In Dreams sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from In Dreams we've catalogued, the median is gain 4 (range 4–4), 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. How many In Dreams songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from In Dreams broken down, including "In Dreams" and "Mean Woman Blues". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
