From Young, Loud and Snotty (1977). Young, Loud and Snotty is the first studio album by the American punk band Dead Boys. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through a Sound City L100, the rig we use for Dead Boys' other songs from Young, Loud and Snotty, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

The guitar on "Not Anymore" (released 1977) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 7, 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 "Not Anymore" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Not Anymore" 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.
