Common Questions About the Jar Tone
What amp was Jar recorded with?
Every one of the Jar tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Hiwatt DR103 Custom 100. 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 Jar?
The Jazzmaster (modern equivalent: Squier Classic Vibe 60s Jazzmaster) appears on the most Jar 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 Jar sound?
Across the 11 guitar tracks from Jar we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 6.5, mid 4, treble 6 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 Jar?
The Way Huge Swollen Pickle MkIIs Jumbo Fuzz shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Big Muff (modern equivalent: Electro-Harmonix Op-Amp Big Muff Pi (V4 Reissue)). 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.
How many Jar songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 11 tracks from Jar broken down, including "Youngest Daughter" and "Around the Railing". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
