From Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). Dizzy Up the Girl is the sixth studio album by American rock band Goo Goo Dolls, released on September 22, 1998, through 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 Dizzy Up the Girl, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
Common Questions About the "Full Forever" Tone
What guitar did Goo Goo Dolls use on "Full Forever"?
The guitar on "Full Forever" (released 1998) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Full Forever" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 2.5, Bass 4.5, Mid 5, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, Volume 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 "Full Forever" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Full Forever" 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.
