Recording notes

From Shields (2012). Shields is the fourth studio album by American rock band Grizzly Bear, released on September 18, 2012, by Warp Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Guild Starfire IV ST through a Fender Silverface Twin Reverb, the nearest rig we use for Grizzly Bear's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Yet Again" Tone

  1. What guitar did Grizzly Bear use on "Yet Again"?

    The guitar on "Yet Again" (released 2012) isn't documented; the Guild Starfire IV ST above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Yet Again" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 2, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 5, Presence 4, Volume 5.5. 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.

  3. Can I play "Yet Again" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Yet Again" 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.
