ToneAdapt is your personal tone matching engine for the electric guitar or bass guitar. Pick any song's guitar tone, enter your specific gear, and get the original gear used + tone settings, along with custom amp, guitar, and pedal settings adapted to your exact setup in seconds.
We aggregate real tone and gear data from across the entire internet — forums, gear reviews, artist rig rundowns, manufacturer specs, and community knowledge — to build the most comprehensive guitar tone database available. ToneAdapt then translates those tonal characteristics into precise settings for your amp, guitar, and pedals. No more copying YouTube amp settings that sound nothing like the original — ToneAdapt accounts for the differences in EQ curves, gain staging, and frequency response across gear brands.
Whether you're dialing in Hendrix on a bedroom amp, matching tones for a cover band, or exploring new sounds on your modeling rig, ToneAdapt gives you the exact settings to get there with your gear.
ToneAdapt Pro requires a recurring subscription to access unlimited tone adaptations and our full gear database. With ToneAdapt Pro, you get:
Unlimited Tone Adaptations: Match any famous guitar tone to your specific gear.
3,600+ Gear Database: Amps, guitars, and pedals from every major brand.
Data-Driven Matching: Settings derived from real-world tone data aggregated from thousands of sources, adapted to your exact gear combination.

I started learning the guitar and was genuinely going to give up because I couldn’t nail down my favorite songs but tone it up and a specific settings that I would give me absolutely change my life 10 out of 10 would recommend to everybody even if you’re not a beginner this is definitely the best guitar app on the market!

Doesn’t work correctly

I tried to contact support but I signed up through Apple so it’s impossible apparently. Because it takes me to your website and then tells me to sign in, but I can’t because Google sign-ins are the only option. It feels like your app doesn’t understand my amp. I have a tone and volume knob and a rhythm and lead channel. Every song I attempt is rhythm and dirty channel, which I’m assuming equates to lead. Then it tells me to adjust the gain and the volume, but I don’t have a gain. My tone does affect the gain some but whole lotta love (Led Zeppelin) on the rhythm channel with 3.5 tone on the bridge pickup of a telecaster sounds nothing like the original song. I know the app can’t be perfect but I’m smart enough to know that the lead channel is what should be used for this. I’m going to need some assistance on this quickly or I’m just going to request a refund.
Cool Idea-Doesn’t Work!

It’s a fine idea but in practice it doesn’t work. Upon testing with the free trial, I received basically the exact same tone readout for my amp for multiple different songs with entirely different tones. And when it suggested I add pedals from my collection in? It simply recommended connecting them with no tone suggestions for the pedals which led to an awful sound on the amp even after human adjusting because the pedals were not meant to work with the amp tone the app suggested. It seems like a cool idea but I wouldn’t trust an app that says pig destroyer, megadeth, Eyehategod, acid bath, and Metallica all have the same translated tone settings on a mustang LT25 practice amp lol. It’s AI slop that hallucinates incorrect answers for your tones very often, do not trust this if you are a new player it will lead you astray.
Godsend for guitarists

I put in my gear and everything and each time it gets the tone perfect for whatever song I want. Genuinely super impressed with how far AI tech is going these days. Kudos to the developers this is amazing work for all guitarists. So glad I don’t have to spend hours tuning stuff by ear anymore
Full bass functionality update!
