From Results May Vary (2003). The rig on this recording isn't documented, so an Ibanez RG7421 into a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier stands in. Set the gain high with a tight low end on the bridge pickup. The rest of the album is in Drop B, so that is assumed here.
Common Questions About the "Take It Home" Tone
What guitar did Limp Bizkit use on "Take It Home"?
The guitar on "Take It Home" (released 2003) isn't documented; the Ibanez RG7421 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Take It Home" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6.5, Mid 5, Treble 6, 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 "Take It Home" 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 It Home" 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.
