Common Questions About the October Tone
What amp was October recorded with?
Every one of the October tracks in our catalog was tracked on an AC30 (modern equivalent: Vox AC30 C2). 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 October?
The Gibson Explorer appears on the most October 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 October sound?
Across the 6 guitar tracks from October we've catalogued, the median is gain 4 (range 3.5–4), with bass 5, mid 6, treble 7 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 October?
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 October songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 6 tracks from October broken down, including "Gloria" and "Fire". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
