From Easy (1999). Easy is the second studio album released by the Australian rock band Grinspoon. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul DC Special P-90 through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Grinspoon's other songs from Easy, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Rock Show" Tone
What guitar did Grinspoon use on "Rock Show"?
The guitar on "Rock Show" (released 1999) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul DC Special P-90 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Rock Show" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, Volume 7. 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 "Rock Show" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Rock Show" 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.
