From Us and Them (2005). Us and Them is the second studio album by American rock band Shinedown, released on October 4, 2005, by Atlantic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a PRS Custom 24 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Shinedown's other songs from Us and Them, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
Common Questions About the "Yer Majesty" Tone
What guitar did Shinedown use on "Yer Majesty"?
The guitar on "Yer Majesty" (released 2005) isn't documented; the PRS Custom 24 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.
What amp settings does "Yer Majesty" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6.5, Mid 6, 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.
Can I play "Yer Majesty" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Yer Majesty" 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.
