From Geräusch (2003). Geräusch ("Noise" or "Sound") is a studio album by German rock band Die Ärzte, released on 29 September 2003 by Hot Action Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Die Ärzte's other songs from Geräusch, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Nichts in der Welt" Tone
What guitar did Die Ärzte use on "Nichts in der Welt"?
The guitar on "Nichts in der Welt" (released 2003) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. 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 "Nichts in der Welt" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Nichts in der Welt" 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.
