FAQ

Common Questions About the Savages Tone

  1. What amp was Savages recorded with?

    Every one of the Savages tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM800 2203. 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 Savages?

    The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Savages 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 Savages sound?

    Across the 3 guitar tracks from Savages we've catalogued, the median is gain 5 (range 5–5), 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.

  4. How many Savages songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 3 tracks from Savages broken down, including "Angel" and "Drown". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
