From Born Again (2010). Born Again is the fourteenth studio album by the Christian rock band Newsboys, released on July 13, 2010, by Inpop Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the nearest rig we use for Newsboys' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Born Again" Tone
What guitar did Newsboys use on "Born Again"?
The guitar on "Born Again" (released 2010) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Born Again" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 6. 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 "Born Again" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Born Again" 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.
