Recording notes

From Dirty Work (2011). Dirty Work is the fourth studio album by American rock band All Time Low. 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 Dirty Work, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Common Questions About the "Forget About It" Tone

  1. What guitar did All Time Low use on "Forget About It"?

    The guitar on "Forget About It" (released 2011) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

  2. What amp settings does "Forget About It" need?

    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 "Forget About It" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Forget About It" 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.
