From Aha Shake Heartbreak (2004). Produced by Ethan Johns and Angelo Petraglia in April to June 2004 at Three Crows in Los Angeles, Johns' studio, which used the old Abbey Road mixing desk. Credited to the band (3:19). No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Vox AC30 C2, the nearest rig to the one Kings of Leon is documented with, stands in. Set the amp at a driven crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Rememo" Tone
What guitar did Kings of Leon use on "Rememo"?
The guitar on "Rememo" (released 2004) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Rememo" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 7, Presence 6, 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 "Rememo" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Rememo" 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.
