FAQ

Common Questions About the Ash & Ice Tone

  1. What amp was Ash & Ice recorded with?

    Every one of the Ash & Ice tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fender Champion 40. 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 Ash & Ice?

    The Jaguar (modern equivalent: Fender Player Jaguar) appears on the most Ash & Ice 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 Ash & Ice sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Ash & Ice we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), 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.

  4. What pedals are on Ash & Ice?

    The ProCo Rat 2 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 Ash & Ice songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Ash & Ice broken down, including "Heart of a Dog" and "Echo Home". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
