Common Questions About the Option Paralysis Tone
What amp was Option Paralysis recorded with?
Every one of the Option Paralysis tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Mesa Boogie Triple 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 Option Paralysis?
The ESP E-II Horizon NT-II (a modern equivalent) appears on the most Option Paralysis 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 Option Paralysis sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Option Paralysis we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 5, mid 5.5, 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 Option Paralysis?
The Ibanez Tube Screamer TS-9 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.
