Frequently asked

Is GuitarToneAdapt free?

Yes β€” completely free and it runs in your browser, no signup.

Do I need the same guitar and amp as the original recording?

No. GuitarToneAdapt maps the original gear and EQ, then compensates for your pickups, body wood and amp so you get close on the rig you already own.

How does it adapt the amp settings?

It models how pickup output, brightness and amp voicing change the tone, then adjusts gain, bass, mid, treble and presence for your specific gear.

How many guitar tones are included?

495 famous song tones, each with researched gear and amp settings, plus per-amp cheat sheets and chord pages.
