From But Here We Are (2023). But Here We Are is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Foo Fighters, released on June 2, 2023. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson DG-335 through a Mesa Boogie Mark V, the rig we use for Foo Fighters' other songs from But Here We Are, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Beyond Me" Tone
What guitar did Foo Fighters use on "Beyond Me"?
The guitar on "Beyond Me" (released 2023) isn't documented; the Gibson DG-335 (Dave Grohl Signature) above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Beyond Me" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. 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 "Beyond Me" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Beyond Me" 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.
