FAQ

Common Questions About the Transference Tone

  1. What amp was Transference recorded with?

    Every one of the Transference tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired. 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 Transference?

    The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Telecaster) appears on the most Transference 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 Transference sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Transference 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 Transference songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Transference broken down, including "I Saw the Light" and "Got Nuffin". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
