FAQ

Common Questions About the Copper Blue Tone

  1. What amp was Copper Blue recorded with?

    Every one of the Copper Blue tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus. ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.

  2. What amp settings do I need for the Copper Blue sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Copper Blue we've catalogued, the median is gain 3 (range 3–5.5), with bass 5.5, mid 5, 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.

  3. What pedals are on Copper Blue?

    The MXR Distortion+ 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.

  4. How many Copper Blue songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Copper Blue broken down, including "Helpless" and "If I Can't Change Your Mind". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
