Common Questions About the Imago Tone
What amp was Imago recorded with?
Every one of the Imago tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. 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 Imago?
The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Imago 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 Imago sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Imago we've catalogued, the median is gain 7.5 (range 7.5–7.5), with bass 6, mid 5.5, 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.
How many Imago songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Imago broken down, including "A Slow Descent" and "Aisles of White". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
