Common Questions About the Boom Tone
What amp was Boom recorded with?
Every one of the Boom tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Tweed Deluxe (modern equivalent: Fender '57 Custom Deluxe (Tweed Deluxe)). ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.
What guitar was used on Boom?
The Epiphone Riviera (E360TD) appears on the most Boom 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.
What amp settings do I need for the Boom sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Boom we've catalogued, the median is gain 7 (range 7–7), with bass 5, mid 6.5, treble 7 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.
How many Boom songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Boom broken down, including "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" and "Shot Down". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
