TonesMatch

TonesMatch lets guitarists and bass players type a song and receive amp settings, pickup position, and pedal chain adapted to their own gear. The page states the tones are researched from real gear data such as studio session notes, rig rundowns, and guitar communities, with citations and confidence scores. It says it profiles 2,000+ guitars, 1,500+ amps, and 879 pedals, including their EQ ranges and control sets, and that it only recommends settings that exist on the user's amp. It reports 24,806 tones researched, a free tone browsing option, a 'Try Demo' option, and subscription plans. Support for bass and a community library are mentioned.
