FAQ

Common Questions About the Tell No Tales Tone

  1. What amp was Tell No Tales recorded with?

    Every one of the Tell No Tales 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 Tell No Tales?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender American Professional II Stratocaster) appears on the most Tell No Tales 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 Tell No Tales sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Tell No Tales we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), with bass 5, mid 6, treble 6.8 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 Tell No Tales songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Tell No Tales broken down, including "Tell No Tales" and "10,000 Lovers (In One)". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
