From There Near (2026). There Near is the thirteenth studio album by the American alternative rock band Dinosaur Jr., released on August 28, 2026, via Jagjaguwar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender J Mascis Jazzmaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Dinosaur Jr.'s other songs from There Near, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Take Me With You" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Take Me With You" 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.
