From Younger Than Yesterday (1967). Younger Than Yesterday is the fourth studio album by the American rock band the Byrds, released on February 6, 1967, by Columbia Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Rickenbacker 360/12 through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for The Byrds' other songs from Younger Than Yesterday, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Time Between" Tone

The guitar on "Time Between" (released 1967) isn't documented; the Rickenbacker 360/12 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Time Between" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 4, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 7, 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 "Time Between" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Time Between" 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.
