From This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In) (2004). Their third studio album, produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette and Chevelle and recorded between January and May 2004, it was released on September 21, 2004. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Mark IV, the nearest rig to the one documented for Chevelle, stands in. Set the amp to a driven crunch and use the bridge pickup. undefined
Common Questions About the "Still Running" Tone
What guitar did Chevelle use on "Still Running"?
The guitar on "Still Running" (released 2004) isn't documented; the PRS Custom 24 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Still Running" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6, 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 "Still Running" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Still Running" 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.
