From III Sides to Every Story (1992). III Sides to Every Story (pronounced "three sides to every story") is the third studio album by the American rock band Extreme, released on September 14, 1992, through A&M Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Washburn N4 Nuno Bettencourt through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Extreme's other songs from III Sides to Every Story, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Our Father" Tone
What guitar did Extreme use on "Our Father"?
The guitar on "Our Father" (released 1992) isn't documented; the Washburn N4 Nuno Bettencourt above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Our Father" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 6, Mid 6, 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.
Can I play "Our Father" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Our Father" 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.
