Common Questions About the False Idol Tone
What amp was False Idol recorded with?
Every one of the False Idol tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Fractal Audio Axe-FX III. 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 False Idol?
The Strandberg Boden Prog NX 7 (a modern equivalent) appears on the most False Idol 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 False Idol sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from False Idol we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 7.5–8.5), with bass 6, mid 5, 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.
