From Dysfunction (1999). A heavy, brooding early-Staind track. No source documents the guitar or amp on this track, so an Ibanez Mike Mushok MMM1 Baritone into a Diezel VH4 stands in. Set a medium-high crunch on the bridge pickup and keep the low end tight. Tuning isn't documented here.

Can I play "Just Go" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Just Go" 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.
