FAQ

Common Questions About the Meet the Searchers Tone

  1. What amp was Meet the Searchers recorded with?

    Every one of the Meet the Searchers 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.

  2. What guitar was used on Meet the Searchers?

    The Rickenbacker 360/12 appears on the most Meet the Searchers 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 Meet the Searchers sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Meet the Searchers we've catalogued, the median is gain 2.5 (range 1–3), with bass 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. How many Meet the Searchers songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Meet the Searchers broken down, including "Love Potion No. 9" and "Sweets for My Sweet". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
