From Vide Noir (2018). Vide Noir is the third studio album and major-label debut by American rock band Lord Huron. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Danelectro '59M NOS+ through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Lord Huron's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Vide Noir" Tone

The guitar on "Vide Noir" (released 2018) isn't documented; the Danelectro '59M NOS+ above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Vide Noir" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 2, Bass 5, Mid 4.5, Treble 7, Presence 6, Volume 4. 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 "Vide Noir" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Vide Noir" 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.
