Stop guessing your settings.
Pick a target tone. Tell ToneForge what you play. Get amp settings translated to your rig — with pickup recommendations and playing tips, in seconds.
Designed around real amps, real guitars, and realistic limitations.
Smart Analysis
Reference tones map to a model of the original rig — guitar, pickup type, amp voicing, EQ stack, and headroom. Not vibes, not magic.
Gear Adaptation
The engine compensates for pickup output, guitar brightness, EQ-stack quirks, and amp gain stage so the same target lands on your setup.
Instant Results
Knob positions, pickup selection, and playing tips in under a second. No upload, no wait — adapt, save, and play.
How it works
Three steps from "I wish my amp sounded like that" to actually getting there.
1. Tell us your rig
Pick the guitar, pickup type, and amp you actually own. Replace the stock pickups? Override that too.
2. Pick a target
Browse classic recordings or search by artist, era, or genre. Each tone is paired with its original gear.
3. Get adapted settings
Knob positions translated to your amp's voicing — plus a confidence score and what to do when your gear is too far off.
