FAQ

Common Questions About the Green Thoughts Tone

  1. What amp was Green Thoughts recorded with?

    Every one of the Green Thoughts 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 Green Thoughts?

    The Rickenbacker 360 appears on the most Green Thoughts 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 Green Thoughts sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Green Thoughts 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 Green Thoughts songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Green Thoughts broken down, including "Only a Memory" and "House We Used to Live In". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
