FAQ

Common Questions About the Daydream Tone

  1. What amp was Daydream recorded with?

    Every one of the Daydream tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Twin Reverb (modern equivalent: Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue). 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 Daydream?

    The Gibson ES-335 appears on the most Daydream 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 Daydream sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Daydream we've catalogued, the median is gain 2.5 (range 2.5–2.5), with bass 5, mid 5.5, 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. How many Daydream songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Daydream broken down, including "Daydream" and "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
