From Let Love In (2006). Let Love In is the eighth studio album by the American rock band the Goo Goo Dolls, released on April 25, 2006 on Warner Bros. Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Goo Goo Dolls' other songs from Let Love In, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Feel the Silence" Tone
What guitar did Goo Goo Dolls use on "Feel the Silence"?
The guitar on "Feel the Silence" (released 2006) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Feel the Silence" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 4, 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 "Feel the Silence" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Feel the Silence" 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.
