FAQ

Common Questions About the Afterglow Tone

  1. What amp was Afterglow recorded with?

    Every one of the Afterglow tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Neural DSP Quad Cortex. 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 Afterglow?

    The PRS SE 277 Baritone appears on the most Afterglow 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 Afterglow sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Afterglow we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 6, mid 5, 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.

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Afterglow broken down, including "Stuck in My Head" and "Words Are Worthless". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
