Recording notes

From Crooked Teeth (2017). Crooked Teeth is the ninth studio album by American rock band Papa Roach. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Schecter Jerry Horton Tempest (Papa Roach) through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Papa Roach's other songs from Crooked Teeth, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "None of the Above" Tone

  1. What guitar did Papa Roach use on "None of the Above"?

    The guitar on "None of the Above" (released 2017) isn't documented; the Schecter Jerry Horton Tempest (Papa Roach) 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.

  2. What amp settings does "None of the Above" 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.

  3. Can I play "None of the Above" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "None of the Above" 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.
