Common Questions About the Polaris Tone
What amp was Polaris recorded with?
Every one of the Polaris tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fractal Audio Axe-FX III (a modern equivalent). 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 Polaris?
The Strandberg Boden Fusion NX 7 (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Polaris 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 Polaris sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Polaris we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 5, mid 6, 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.
How many Polaris songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Polaris broken down, including "Tourniquet" and "Survival". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
