From Feeling Strangely Fine (1998). Feeling Strangely Fine is the second studio album by American rock band Semisonic, released on March 24, 1998 by MCA. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Semisonic's other songs from Feeling Strangely Fine, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle pickup.
Common Questions About the "Never You Mind" Tone
What guitar did Semisonic use on "Never You Mind"?
The guitar on "Never You Mind" (released 1998) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: middle pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Never You Mind" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 4.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 5.5, Presence 5, 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 "Never You Mind" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Never You Mind" 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.
