Recording notes

From Projector (2021). Their second studio album, written and recorded while the band were in high school and mixed by Dan Carey, it was released on October 29, 2021. It was one of the singles released ahead of the album. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface), the nearest rig to the one documented for Geese, stands in. Set the amp to a clean, lightly driven tone and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Low Era" Tone

  1. What guitar did Geese use on "Low Era"?

    The guitar on "Low Era" (released 2021) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

  2. What amp settings does "Low Era" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 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 "Low Era" without the original gear?

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