Craft any guitar or bass tone. Using the gear you own.
Tell us your amp, guitar or bass, and pickups. Pick a song. We dial in exact knob settings adapted to your rig: knobs, pickups, signal chain, and the workarounds for pedals you don't own.
Your first tone match is free, no card needed · one plan, everything unlimited, cancel anytime.
BUILT TO MATCH ANYTHING
Don't see your gear in the list? Just type it in. We'll work with it.
Three steps.
Tell us your gear
Amp, guitar or bass, pickups, pedals. Pick from hundreds of models or type your own. Save multiple rigs.
Pick a song
Search any song or paste an artist name. ToneCrafter handles the rest, including the moments most apps fudge, like clean intros vs lead solos.
Get your settings
Knob positions, pickup choice, pedal recommendations, and playing tips. Tailored to your exact rig.
Three ways to find your tone.
Search any song
From Hendrix to NewJeans. If it's been recorded, we can match it.
Refine it
Don't love the first match? Reply with "more bite," "less low end," or "darker" and we'll re-tune the settings.
On iPhone too
Native iOS app with the same matcher and your tones synced across devices.

Palm-mute the low E heavily during the main riff for that signature gallop.
Use bridge pickup throughout. Roll tone knob to 8 for clarity in the verses.

Questions.
Does it work with my amp?
Yes if your amp has at least gain, bass, mid, treble, and volume controls. We have a built-in catalog of 1,800+ amps including Marshall, Fender, Vox, Mesa, Orange, Peavey, EVH, Friedman, plus modelers like Boss Katana, Kemper, Helix, and Fractal. If your amp isn't listed, just type it in.
What about my guitar, bass, and pedals?
Pick from 2,500+ guitars and basses (Strats, Teles, Les Pauls, Precision Bass, Jazz Bass, Stingray, Rickenbacker, Ibanez, Warwick, ESP) and 600+ classic pedals (Tube Screamers, Klons, Big Muffs, Strymons, Darkglass, EBS, MXR). Anything not in the list, just type it.
How much does it cost?
One plan, everything unlimited. Go month to month at $9.99/month, or annual at $49.99/year (about $4.17/month) to save, with a 3-day free trial on the annual. Your first tone match is free with no card either way. No tiers to compare, nothing to outgrow.
Will the tone be exact?
It will be very close, but a Boss Katana will never sound exactly like a Mesa Mark IIC+. We adapt the settings to get you as close as your gear allows.
Do I need pedals?
No. We give you settings that work without pedals, and if you do have pedals, we'll suggest which to use.
Is there a mobile app?
Yes. There's a native iPhone app with the same matcher and your saved tones synced from the web. Same pricing on both platforms, billed via the App Store on iOS.
Is it free to try?
Yes. Your first tone match is free with no card needed, so you can hear ToneCrafter dial in your exact gear before you pay anything. There's one plan with everything unlimited, so you're never guessing which tier you need.
Can I cancel anytime?
The monthly bills right away; the annual starts with a 3-day free trial. Either way you can cancel anytime from your account dashboard (web) or Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions (iOS). Your first tone match is free with no card, so you can try it before you subscribe.
