From Weed Forestin' (1990). Weed Forestin' is the second studio album by the American indie rock band Sebadoh, released in 1990. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Mustang through a Fender Deluxe Reverb (Blackface), the nearest rig we use for Sebadoh's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Brand New Love" Tone
What guitar did Sebadoh use on "Brand New Love"?
The guitar on "Brand New Love" (released 1990) isn't documented; the Fender Player Mustang above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Brand New Love" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 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 "Brand New Love" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Brand New Love" 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.
