Common Questions About the Blast Off Tone
What amp was Blast Off recorded with?
Every one of the Blast Off tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fender '59 Bassman LTD Reissue. 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 Blast Off?
The Gretsch 6120 (modern equivalent: Gretsch G6120T-BSSMK Brian Setzer Signature Nashville Hollow Body '59 Smoke) appears on the most Blast Off 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 Blast Off sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Blast Off we've catalogued, the median is gain 3 (range 3–3), with bass 5, mid 6, treble 7 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.
What pedals are on Blast Off?
The Roland RE-301 Chorus Echo 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.
