Common Questions About the Tanx Tone
What amp was Tanx recorded with?
Every one of the Tanx tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Super Lead (modern equivalent: Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead 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 Tanx?
The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Tanx 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 Tanx sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Tanx we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), 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 Tanx?
The Tone Bender (modern equivalent: Sola Sound Tone Bender MkII Reissue) 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.
How many Tanx songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Tanx broken down, including "20th Century Boy" and "Born to Boogie". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
