From No. 4 (1999). No. 4 is the fourth studio album by American rock band Stone Temple Pilots, released on 26 October 1999 by Atlantic Records. The album's personnel list credits Dean DeLeo with electric and acoustic guitars, with Robert DeLeo also on guitar on "I Got You". No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Stone Temple Pilots' other songs from No. 4, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

The guitar on "I Got You" (released 1999) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 5.5, 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 "I Got You" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "I Got You" 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.
