FAQ

Common Questions About the 11 Tone

  1. What amp was 11 recorded with?

    Every one of the 11 tracks in our catalog was tracked on a 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 11?

    The Rickenbacker 360 appears on the most 11 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 11 sound?

    Across the 4 guitar tracks from 11 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 11 songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 4 tracks from 11 broken down, including "A Girl Like You" and "Maria Elena". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
