From Bleed American (2001). Bleed American is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Jimmy Eat World, released on July 24, 2001, by DreamWorks Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JMP 2203 Master Volume, the rig we use for Jimmy Eat World's other songs from Bleed American, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

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