Common Questions About the English Graffiti Tone
What amp was English Graffiti recorded with?
Every one of the English Graffiti 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.
What guitar was used on English Graffiti?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most English Graffiti 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 English Graffiti sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from English Graffiti we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 3–6), with bass 5.5, 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.
