    Across the 1 Dominican Music tones in our catalog the median is gain 1 (range 1–1), with bass 5, mid 5.5, treble 6 - on a 0–10 scale. That's the window, not a recipe: pick any song below for the exact knob positions it was recorded with, then let ToneMirror re-voice them for your amp.

    In our catalog the Dominican Music tones lean most on the Deluxe Reverb (modern equivalent: Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue), the Taylor 314ce (a modern equivalent), the Boss CE-2 Chorus. You don't need any of it - the match engine translates each recipe onto the gear you already own, compensating for a different EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type.
