FAQ

Common Questions About the Vision Thing Tone

  1. What amp was Vision Thing recorded with?

    Every one of the Vision Thing 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 Vision Thing?

    The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Vision Thing 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 Vision Thing sound?

    Across the 8 guitar tracks from Vision Thing we've catalogued, the median is gain 7.5 (range 7.5–7.5), 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 Vision Thing songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 8 tracks from Vision Thing broken down, including "More" and "Detonation Boulevard". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
