Recording notes

From Tell Me I'm Alive (2023). Tell Me I'm Alive is the ninth studio album by American rock band All Time Low, released on 17 March 2023 by Fueled by Ramen. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Mesa Boogie Mark V, the rig we use for All Time Low's other songs from Tell Me I'm Alive, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

  1. What guitar did All Time Low use on "Are You There?"?

    The guitar on "Are You There?" (released 2023) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, 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.

  3. Can I play "Are You There?" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Are You There?" 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.
