Common Questions About the Total Tone
What amp was Total recorded with?
Every one of the Total tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Rockerverb (modern equivalent: Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII). 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 Total?
The Gibson Explorer appears on the most Total 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 Total sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Total we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 5, mid 5, 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 Total?
The Boss CH-1 Super 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.
How many Total songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Total broken down, including "Skate or Die" and "Blood Bath at Burger King". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
