From Seventeen Going Under (2021). Seventeen Going Under is the second studio album by English musician Sam Fender, released on 8 October 2021. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Sam Fender's other songs from Seventeen Going Under, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "The Dying Light" Tone
What guitar did Sam Fender use on "The Dying Light"?
The guitar on "The Dying Light" (released 2021) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "The Dying Light" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 4, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. 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 "The Dying Light" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "The Dying Light" 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.
