From Bachelor No. 2 or, the Last Remains of the Dodo (2000). Bachelor No. 2 or, the Last Remains of the Dodo is the third studio album by the American singer-songwriter Aimee Mann, released on May 2, 2000. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Rickenbacker 360 through a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface), the nearest rig we use for Aimee Mann's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
Common Questions About the "You Do" Tone
What guitar did Aimee Mann use on "You Do"?
The guitar on "You Do" (released 2000) isn't documented; the Rickenbacker 360 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "You Do" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 2, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6, Presence 5, Volume 6. 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 "You Do" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "You Do" 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.
