From Tonight Alright (2004). Tonight Alright is the sixth studio album by Australian alternative rock band Spiderbait, released on 28 March 2004 through Universal Music Australia. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Spiderbait's other songs from Tonight Alright, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Put It Down" Tone

The guitar on "Put It Down" (released 2004) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Standard above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 8. 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 "Put It Down" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Put It Down" 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.
