From Blessed Be (2000). Blessed Be is the fifth studio album by Finnish rock band the 69 Eyes, released in 2000 by Gaga Goodies/Poko Rekords. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for The 69 Eyes' other songs from Blessed Be, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Gothic Girl" Tone
What guitar did The 69 Eyes use on "Gothic Girl"?
The guitar on "Gothic Girl" (released 2000) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Gothic Girl" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 6, Mid 5, Treble 5, Presence 5, 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 "Gothic Girl" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Gothic Girl" 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.
