Get the settings for my ampHow the artist had their guitar configured for this take.
From Death of a Bachelor (2016). A bright pop-rock track with clean-to-crunchy guitar under a big vocal. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Duesenberg Starplayer TV through a Mesa Boogie Mark I Reissue stands in. Set the amp at a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
Common Questions About the "House of Memories" Tone
What guitar did Panic! at the Disco use on "House of Memories"?
The guitar on "House of Memories" (released 2016) isn't documented; the Duesenberg Starplayer TV above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 4.5, Mid 7.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 5.5. 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 "House of Memories" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "House of Memories" 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.
