From Welcome to the Monkey House (2003). A swaggering, fuzzy garage-rock single with a driving riff. A gear list for the band around 2000 names a 1972 Telecaster Thinline played in open G, but nothing available here dates it to this recording or names the amp. So a Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline through a Vox AC30 C2 stands in. Set the amp on the edge of breakup and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
Common Questions About the "Get Off" Tone
What guitar did The Dandy Warhols use on "Get Off"?
The guitar on "Get Off" (released 2003) isn't documented; the Fender American Vintage II 1972 Telecaster Thinline above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Get Off" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 4, Bass 5, Mid 5, Treble 6, Presence 5, 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 "Get Off" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Get Off" 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.
