FAQ

Common Questions About the Combat Sports Tone

  1. What amp was Combat Sports recorded with?

    Every one of the Combat Sports tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Vox AC30CC2 Custom Classic. 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 Combat Sports?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Combat Sports 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 Combat Sports sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Combat Sports we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), 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 Combat Sports songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Combat Sports broken down, including "I Can't Quit" and "Your Love Is My Favourite Band". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
