Common Questions About the Marathon Tone
What amp was Marathon recorded with?
Every one of the Marathon tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Mark I (modern equivalent: Mesa Boogie Mark I 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 Marathon?
The Yamaha SG2000 appears on the most Marathon 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 Marathon sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Marathon we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 5, mid 7, 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.
How many Marathon songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Marathon broken down, including "Aqua Marine" and "All I Ever Wanted". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
