From Superstar Car Wash (1993). Superstar Car Wash is the fourth studio album by American rock band Goo Goo Dolls, released on February 23, 1993 on Warner Bros. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Standard Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Goo Goo Dolls' other songs from Superstar Car Wash, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Cuz You're Gone" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Cuz You're Gone" 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.
