FAQ

Common Questions About the State of Shock Tone

  1. What amp was State of Shock recorded with?

    Every one of the State of Shock 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.

  2. What guitar was used on State of Shock?

    The Gibson Byrdland appears on the most State of Shock 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.

  3. What amp settings do I need for the State of Shock sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from State of Shock we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 5.5, 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.

  4. How many State of Shock songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 4 tracks from State of Shock broken down, including "Alone" and "State of Shock". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
