From Dead Letters (2003). Dead Letters is the fifth album by Finnish band the Rasmus, released on 21 March 2003 by Playground Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for The Rasmus' other songs from Dead Letters, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Still Standing" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Still Standing" 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.
