AI guitar tone generator for TONE3000
Real captures, named by ID
NAM captures and IRs picked from a reviewed catalogue and referenced by their TONE3000 model ID, so you load the capture that was chosen rather than something that merely sounds similar.
The whole block, not just the model
Each block arrives with its input and output trim, mix, and its six-band EQ set — the parameters that decide whether a capture sits right in a mix.
Saved to your library
Keep every tone in your Dial My Tone library to revisit, rename, and re-export for TONE3000.
A researched starting point, not a blank patch
Every tone starts from researched, platform-native settings rather than a blank patch — close enough to plug in and play straight away.
Revise it in your own words
Want it closer to what you hear? Tell Dial My Tone what you want — “darker,” “more gain,” “tighter low end” — and it reshapes the preset using TONE3000's own captures, IRs and block settings. Shape the tone the way you hear it, without ever leaving your TONE3000 rig.
Skip the retyping — download a ready-made preset
One click gives you a native TONE3000 preset. Copy it into TONE3000's preset folder, reopen the preset browser, and the chain is there with every block already set.
Built against the TONE3000 plugin's own preset code at a pinned version, with 279 of its own preset files round-tripping byte for byte. The preset references captures by model ID rather than carrying them, so sign in inside TONE3000 if one still has to be retrieved.
- A native .t3kpreset — the chain, its NAM and IR references, per-block EQ, and every saved control.
- Drop it into TONE3000's preset folder on Windows, macOS, or Linux and reopen the preset browser. There is no separate editor application to import through.
- TONE3000 has no snapshots, so a song with more than one variation arrives as a zip — one preset each, with a README naming the parts.
TONE3000 questions
Can Dial My Tone create TONE3000 presets?
Yes. You get a downloadable .t3kpreset with the chain, its capture and IR references, per-block EQ, and every saved control already set — copy it into TONE3000's preset folder and reopen the preset browser.
Do the captures come inside the preset file?
No. The preset references each capture and IR by its TONE3000 model ID rather than carrying the model bytes, which is how a preset stays small and how credit stays with the creator who made the capture. Sign in inside the plugin or standalone app if a referenced model still has to be retrieved — Dial My Tone does not sign the app into your TONE3000 account.
What happens with a song that needs more than one tone?
TONE3000 has no snapshots or scenes to switch between, so each variation is its own preset file. The download arrives as a zip holding all of them, with a README that says which preset covers which part of the song.
How close will it get to the original tone?
Close enough to plug in and play, though no tool can promise a match — your guitar, pickups, and room all change what you hear. You start from a researched chain built on real captures rather than a blank patch, then revise it in your own words and it reshapes the blocks toward the sound you're after.
