Recording notes

From Strong Tower (2005). Strong Tower is a worship album by the Christian rock group Kutless and their third studio album, released on March 1, 2005, by BEC Recordings. 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 Kutless' other songs from Strong Tower, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Take Me In" Tone

  1. What guitar did Kutless use on "Take Me In"?

    The guitar on "Take Me In" (released 2005) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Take Me In" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 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.

  3. Can I play "Take Me In" without the original gear?

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