From No Fixed Address (2014). No Fixed Address is the eighth studio album by Canadian rock band Nickelback, which was released on November 14, 2014, via Republic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, the rig we use for Nickelback's other songs from No Fixed Address, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Sister Sin" Tone
What guitar did Nickelback use on "Sister Sin"?
The guitar on "Sister Sin" (released 2014) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Custom above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Sister Sin" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 6, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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 "Sister Sin" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Sister Sin" 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.
