From All American Nightmare (2010). All American Nightmare is the third studio album by American rock band Hinder, released on 7 December 2010 by Universal Republic. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Hinder's other songs from All American Nightmare, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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