FAQ

Common Questions About the Zebra Tone

  1. What amp was Zebra recorded with?

    Every one of the Zebra 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.

  2. What guitar was used on Zebra?

    The Les Paul (modern equivalent: Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s) appears on the most Zebra 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 Zebra sound?

    Across the 2 guitar tracks from Zebra we've catalogued, the median is gain 8 (range 8–8), with bass 6, mid 5, 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. How many Zebra songs can I dial in here?

    ToneMirror has 2 tracks from Zebra broken down, including "Who's Behind the Door?" and "Tell Me What You Want". Each carries the original amp settings, pickup position, tuning, and pedal chain, plus a per-rig adaptation for your own gear.
