FAQ

Common Questions About the Hawaii Five-O Tone

  1. What amp was Hawaii Five-O recorded with?

    Every one of the Hawaii Five-O 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 Hawaii Five-O?

    The Mosrite Ventures Mark I appears on the most Hawaii Five-O 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 Hawaii Five-O sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Hawaii Five-O we've catalogued, the median is gain 3 (range 3–3), with bass 5, mid 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.

  4. How many Hawaii Five-O songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Hawaii Five-O broken down, including "Theme from A Summer Place" and "Hawaii Five-O". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
