Common Questions About the The Futureheads Tone
What amp was The Futureheads recorded with?
Every one of the The Futureheads tracks in our catalog was tracked on an AC30 (modern equivalent: Vox AC30 C2). 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 The Futureheads?
The Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cut appears on the most The Futureheads 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.

Across the 3 guitar tracks from The Futureheads we've catalogued, the median is gain 5 (range 5–5), 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.
