Get the tone. Hear it against the record. Know it's right. Crack That Tone matches any song to the amp and pedals you already own — then lets you check the match by ear. The only app that checks its own work.

Type it, or connect Apple Music and pick from your own library. Confirm it with a preview — full track if you're a subscriber.
Guitars, amps, pedals, signal chain and tuning — plus the technique and a confidence rating. No fake precision.
Tell us what you own once. Every answer comes back as settings for your gear, with honest gaps and one smart upgrade.
Every incumbent hands you knob numbers. We tell you what the hands do — pickup, picking position, attack, palm-muting — because for song-specific sounds, that's often half of it.
Connect Apple Music and pull them straight from the catalog and your own library. Subscribers hear the full track while they dial it in — everyone else gets a preview. No typing.
Spotify connect — coming soon.
For cover, tribute and worship players: build your setlist, get an ordered stack of rig cards dialled to your rig, and step through them mid-song with big, stage-friendly tap targets.
Submit the settings you dialed in; upvote what works. Approved settings are promoted into the knowledge base that grounds every answer — so the app compounds instead of going stale.
Don't just read the settings — play them. Crack That Tone builds your rig from real Tone3000 NAM captures and emails you a build sheet, ready to load on your computer. Playing something else? With My Gear matches the amp and pedals you already own with substitute settings.
Cracking the tone is step one — playing it is the goal. Crack That Tone turns a song into a practice plan: warm-ups and technique drills, then the song broken down section by section, each with tutorial videos so you build it up part by part at your own tempo.
Everything you need to run a session lives one tap away in the Tools tab — no second app. A chromatic tuner hears your strings on-device, and a metronome runs 40–240 BPM with tap tempo, time signatures and subdivisions.
Pick a source, set how many, and let the dice choose your session. Pull from the songs you've already cracked, any setlist, an Apple Music search, or a list you type — then each pick jumps straight to where you learn it. (Pro.)
Play a Line 6 HX Stomp or a Hotone Ampero II? Crack That Tone rebuilds the tone on your device's own amp, cab and effect models — with Dist, Clean and Lead scenes ready to recall. Not generic knob numbers: a real rig for the box on your board.
A real preset file with three snapshots — Dist, Clean, Lead — built from actual HX amp, cab and effect models plus a 10-band graphic EQ. Save it, drop it onto a slot in HX Edit, and play.
A patch dialled on the Ampero's own amp and effect models, with per-scene settings you set by hand — the Ampero can't take knob values over MIDI, so every value is right there on the card.
