Common Questions About the The Hurting Tone
What amp was The Hurting recorded with?
Every one of the The Hurting tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Twin Reverb (modern equivalent: Fender '65 Twin Reverb 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 The Hurting?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most The Hurting 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 The Hurting sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from The Hurting we've catalogued, the median is gain 1.5 (range 1.5–1.5), with bass 5, mid 6, 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.
What pedals are on The Hurting?
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.
