From All the Right Reasons (2005). All the Right Reasons is the fifth studio album by Canadian rock band Nickelback, released on October 4, 2005, on Roadrunner 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 All the Right Reasons, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
Common Questions About the "Someone That You're With" Tone
What guitar did Nickelback use on "Someone That You're With"?
The guitar on "Someone That You're With" (released 2005) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Custom above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop D (D A D G B E), so retune before you dial anything in.

Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6.5, 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 "Someone That You're With" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Someone That You're With" 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.
