FAQ

Common Questions About the Deadweight Tone

  1. What amp was Deadweight recorded with?

    Every one of the Deadweight tracks in our catalog was tracked on an EVH 5150III 50W. 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 Deadweight?

    The Kiesel Vader 6 Headless appears on the most Deadweight 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 Deadweight sound?

    Across the 7 guitar tracks from Deadweight we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 7, mid 4, 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.

  4. What pedals are on Deadweight?

    The Horizon Devices Precision Drive 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 Deadweight songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 7 tracks from Deadweight broken down, including "Stitch" and "Witness". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
