From Without a Sound (1994). Without a Sound is the sixth studio album by alternative rock band Dinosaur Jr., released on August 23, 1994 through Blanco y Negro Records and Sire Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Dinosaur Jr.'s other songs from Without a Sound, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Get Out of This" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Get Out of This" 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.
