From Start Today (1989). Start Today is the debut studio album by American hardcore punk band Gorilla Biscuits, released in 1989. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Epiphone Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JMP 2203 Master Volume, the rig we use for Gorilla Biscuits' other songs from Start Today, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Stand Still" Tone
What guitar did Gorilla Biscuits use on "Stand Still"?
The guitar on "Stand Still" (released 1989) isn't documented; the Epiphone Les Paul Custom above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Stand Still" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 8. 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 "Stand Still" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Stand Still" 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.
