FAQ

Common Questions About the Pinewood Smile Tone

  1. What amp was Pinewood Smile recorded with?

    Every one of the Pinewood Smile tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall 1959HW Handwired Super Lead. 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 Pinewood Smile?

    The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Pinewood Smile 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 Pinewood Smile sound?

    Across the 6 guitar tracks from Pinewood Smile we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), 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.
