From Scars (2002). Scars is a 2002 studio album by the blues rock trio Scars, led by Northern Irish guitarist Gary Moore, released on 26 August 2002 in Europe by Sanctuary Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JTM45 2245 Reissue, the rig we use for Gary Moore's other songs from Scars, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup.
Common Questions About the "Stand Up" Tone
What guitar did Gary Moore use on "Stand Up"?
The guitar on "Stand Up" (released 2002) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Stand Up" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 5, Mid 6.5, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, 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 "Stand Up" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Stand Up" 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.
