From InnerSpeaker (2010). Innerspeaker (sometimes stylised as InnerSpeaker) is the debut studio album by Australian musical project Tame Impala, released on 21 May 2010 by Modular Recordings. In Guitar.com's look back at the album, Kevin Parker says about 99 per cent of the guitar on it is a Fender Stratocaster he bought from a friend - his only guitar at the time - and that the sounds came from his live rig of a Vox AC30 and a handful of pedals combined with guitar recorded straight into his eight-track recorder and its presets. That describes the album as a whole, not this song, and a modern American Professional Stratocaster and AC30 C2 stand in for his instrument and amp. Use the bridge pickup and a light crunch.
Common Questions About the "Remember Me" Tone
What guitar did Tame Impala use on "Remember Me"?
Tame Impala tracked "Remember Me" on a Stratocaster (released 2010). The Fender American Professional II Stratocaster named above is a modern equivalent, not the guitar on the record. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Remember Me" need?
On Vox AC30 C2: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6. 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 "Remember Me" without a Vox AC30 C2?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the original recipe above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Remember Me" 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.
