FAQ

Common Questions About the Crimson & Clover Tone

  1. What amp was Crimson & Clover recorded with?

    Every one of the Crimson & Clover 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 Crimson & Clover?

    The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster) appears on the most Crimson & Clover 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 Crimson & Clover sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Crimson & Clover we've catalogued, the median is gain 3.5 (range 3.5–3.5), with bass 5.5, mid 5.5, treble 5.5 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. What pedals are on Crimson & Clover?

    The Fulltone Supa-Trem ST-1 (a modern equivalent) 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.

  5. How many Crimson & Clover songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Crimson & Clover broken down, including "Crimson and Clover" and "Crystal Blue Persuasion". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
