From Bad Vibrations (2016). Bad Vibrations is the sixth studio album by the American rock band A Day to Remember, released on September 2, 2016, by ADTR Records and Epitaph Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the rig we use for A Day to Remember's other songs from Bad Vibrations, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop C (C G C F A D).
Common Questions About the "Same About You" Tone
What guitar did A Day to Remember use on "Same About You"?
The guitar on "Same About You" (released 2016) isn't documented; the ESP LTD EC-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop C (C G C F A D), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Same About You" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Same About You" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Same About You" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
