Common Questions About the Forth Tone
What amp was Forth recorded with?
Every one of the Forth tracks in our catalog was tracked on an AC30 (modern equivalent: Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired). 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 Forth?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Forth 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 Forth sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from Forth we've catalogued, the median is gain 6 (range 6–6), 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.
What pedals are on Forth?
The Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man shows up on the most tracks here. Every track breakdown lists that song's full signal chain in order, and the match engine substitutes what you own for what you don't.
How many Forth songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Forth broken down, including "Rather Be" and "Love Is Noise". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
