FAQ

Common Questions About the Prison Bound Tone

  1. What amp was Prison Bound recorded with?

    Every one of the Prison Bound 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 Prison Bound?

    The Gibson Les Paul Deluxe appears on the most Prison Bound 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 Prison Bound sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Prison Bound we've catalogued, the median is gain 5 (range 5–5), with bass 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 Prison Bound songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Prison Bound broken down, including "Prison Bound" and "Like an Outlaw (For You)". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
