Common Questions About K-Indie Tone
What amp settings do I need for K-Indie?
Across the 2 K-Indie tones in our catalog the median is gain 3.5 (range 3–4), with bass 5, mid 5.3, 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.
What gear gives you the K-Indie sound?
In our catalog the K-Indie tones lean most on the Boss CE-2 Chorus, the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV, the Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue. 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.
