Common Questions About the Rain Dogs Tone
What amp was Rain Dogs recorded with?
Every one of the Rain Dogs 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.
What guitar was used on Rain Dogs?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster) appears on the most Rain Dogs 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 Rain Dogs sound?
Across the 3 guitar tracks from Rain Dogs we've catalogued, the median is gain 2.5 (range 2.5–2.5), with bass 5, mid 5.5, treble 6 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 Rain Dogs?
The Boss CE-2 Chorus 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.
