Common Questions About the XYZ Tone
What amp was XYZ recorded with?
Every one of the XYZ tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Marshall JCM800 2203. 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 XYZ?
The Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH FR (a modern equivalent) appears on the most XYZ 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 XYZ sound?
Across the 2 guitar tracks from XYZ we've catalogued, the median is gain 6.5 (range 6.5–6.5), with bass 5.5, mid 5.5, 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.
How many XYZ songs can I dial in here?
ToneMirror has 2 tracks from XYZ broken down, including "Inside Out" and "What Keeps Me Loving You". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
