FAQ

Common Questions About the Hang Time Tone

  1. What amp was Hang Time recorded with?

    Every one of the Hang Time tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM800 2203. 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 Hang Time?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Hang Time 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 Hang Time sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Hang Time we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 6, 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 Hang Time songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Hang Time broken down, including "Cartoon" and "Sometime to Return". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
