FAQ

Common Questions About the True Democracy Tone

  1. What amp was True Democracy recorded with?

    Every one of the True Democracy tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Deluxe Reverb (modern equivalent: Fender '65 Deluxe 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 True Democracy?

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

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from True Democracy we've catalogued, the median is gain 2.5 (range 2.5–2.5), with bass 6, mid 6, treble 5.5 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. What pedals are on True Democracy?

    The Boss CE-2 Chorus shows up on the most tracks here. Every track breakdown lists that song's full signal chain in order, and the match engine substitutes what you own for what you don't.

  5. How many True Democracy songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from True Democracy broken down, including "Chant a Psalm" and "Your House". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
