FAQ

Common Questions About the Emergency & I Tone

  1. What amp was Emergency & I recorded with?

    Every one of the Emergency & I tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface). 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 Emergency & I?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender Standard Stratocaster) appears on the most Emergency & I 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 Emergency & I sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Emergency & I we've catalogued, the median is gain 4 (range 4–4), with bass 5, mid 5, 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.

  4. What pedals are on Emergency & I?

    The Boss CE-2 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.

  5. How many Emergency & I songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Emergency & I broken down, including "What Do You Want Me to Say?" and "The Face of the Earth". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
