Common Questions About the Quo Tone
What amp was Quo recorded with?
Every one of the Quo tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM800 2203 (a modern equivalent). 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 Quo?
The Telecaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Telecaster) appears on the most Quo 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 Quo sound?
Across the 6 guitar tracks from Quo we've catalogued, the median is gain 5.5 (range 5.5–6), with bass 5.5, 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.
