FAQ

Common Questions About the "Yeah Right" Tone

  1. What guitar did Evanescence use on "Yeah Right"?

    The guitar on "Yeah Right" (released 2021) isn't documented; the Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK2 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Yeah Right" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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.

  3. Can I play "Yeah Right" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Yeah Right" 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.
