Get the settings for my ampHow the artist had their guitar configured for this take.
From Get Fucked (2022). Get Fucked is the second studio album by Australian punk rock band the Chats. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through an Orange AD30, the rig we use for The Chats' other songs from Get Fucked, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Panic Attack" Tone
What guitar did The Chats use on "Panic Attack"?
The guitar on "Panic Attack" (released 2022) isn't documented; the Fender Player Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Panic Attack" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, Volume 7.5. 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 "Panic Attack" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Panic Attack" 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.
