From I Got Heaven (2024). I Got Heaven is the fourth studio album by American rock band Mannequin Pussy, released on March 1, 2024, through Epitaph Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII, the rig we use for Mannequin Pussy's other songs from I Got Heaven, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "I Don't Know You" Tone
What guitar did Mannequin Pussy use on "I Don't Know You"?
The guitar on "I Don't Know You" (released 2024) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "I Don't Know You" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 6, 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 "I Don't Know You" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "I Don't Know You" 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.
