FAQ

Common Questions About the Liar Tone

  1. What amp was Liar recorded with?

    Every one of the Liar tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb. 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 Liar?

    The Schecter Hellraiser C-1 appears on the most Liar 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 Liar sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from Liar we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), with bass 5, mid 6, 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.

  4. How many Liar songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 4 tracks from Liar broken down, including "Puss" and "Boilermaker". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
