From Here and Nowhere Else (2014). Here and Nowhere Else is the third studio album and fourth LP overall by Cloud Nothings. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the nearest rig we use for Cloud Nothings' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

What guitar did Cloud Nothings use on "I'm Not Part of Me"?

Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, Volume 7.5. 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 "I'm Not Part of Me" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "I'm Not Part of Me" 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.
