FAQ

Common Questions About the Hootenanny Tone

  1. What amp was Hootenanny recorded with?

    Every one of the Hootenanny tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM800 2203. 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 Hootenanny?

    The Gibson Les Paul Junior appears on the most Hootenanny 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 Hootenanny sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from Hootenanny we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), with bass 6, 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. How many Hootenanny songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 4 tracks from Hootenanny broken down, including "Take Me Down to the Hospital" and "Treatment Bound". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
