Three steps

From “what amp is that?” to your knobs.

1

Pick a tone

Search famous songs or browse by genre, then choose the exact part — riff, solo, clean, or distorted.

2

Enter your gear

Tell us your guitar, amp, and pedals once. ToneAdapt remembers your whole rig.

3

Get your settings

The original gear plus custom amp, guitar, and pedal settings adapted to what you actually own.

The hard part, handled

Their rig isn’t yours. So we translate the sound.

Copying YouTube amp settings sounds nothing like the original. Different amp, different EQ curve, different gain staging. ToneAdapt reshapes the tone’s frequency response to land on your hardware.

Gear-matched settings

Exact amp, guitar, and pedal settings translated to your rig — not a generic copy of someone else’s.

EQ-curve translation

We account for the differences in EQ curves, gain staging, and frequency response across brands.

Signal-chain mapping

See the original pedal order and get placement that works with your amp’s effects loop — or without one.

Missing-gear alternatives

No wah? No delay? Get ranked substitutes and knob tweaks that get you close.

Playing tips

Phrasing, pickup selection, and technique notes so the tone actually sounds like the record.

Your tone library

Save every tone you dial in. Build a setlist. Everything stays matched to your gear.

The database

Real tone data, from the whole internet.
