From The Long Road (2003). The Long Road is the fourth studio album by Canadian rock band Nickelback, released on September 23, 2003. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Nickelback's other songs from The Long Road, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop B (B F♯ B E G♯ C♯).
Common Questions About the "See You at the Show" Tone
What guitar did Nickelback use on "See You at the Show"?
The guitar on "See You at the Show" (released 2003) isn't documented; the Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster (AVRI Reissue) 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 "See You at the Show" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, 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 "See You at the Show" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "See You at the Show" 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.
