From Nightmare Tripping (2026). Nightmare Tripping is the fifth studio album by English four-piece rock band Don Broco. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through an Orange Rockerverb 50 MkIII, the rig we use for Don Broco's other songs from Nightmare Tripping, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Hype Man" Tone
What guitar did Don Broco use on "Hype Man"?
The guitar on "Hype Man" (released 2026) isn't documented; the Fender Player Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, Volume 6. 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 "Hype Man" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Hype Man" 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.
