From Good Charlotte (2000). Good Charlotte is the debut studio album by the American rock band Good Charlotte, released on September 26, 2000 through Epic and Daylight Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Studio through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Good Charlotte's other songs from Good Charlotte, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Let Me Go" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Let Me Go" 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.
