Common Questions About the Mosquito Tone
What amp was Mosquito recorded with?
Every one of the Mosquito tracks in our catalog was tracked on a 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.
What guitar was used on Mosquito?
The Airline H78 appears on the most Mosquito 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 Mosquito sound?
Across the 4 guitar tracks from Mosquito we've catalogued, the median is gain 5.5 (range 5.5–5.5), with bass 5, mid 6, 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.
What pedals are on Mosquito?
The Boss DD-3 Digital Delay shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi (NYC). 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 Mosquito songs can I dial in here?
