From Why Me? Why Not. (2019). Stereogum reports that Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs plays guitar on this one, but no source gives his guitar or amp for it, so a Les Paul into a JCM800 stands in. The song leans gospel; keep the gain low and the tone warm on the neck pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
Common Questions About the "One of Us" Tone
What guitar did Liam Gallagher use on "One of Us"?
The guitar on "One of Us" (released 2019) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "One of Us" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 3.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, Volume 6.5. 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.
Can I play "One of Us" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "One of Us" 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.
