From Up to Here (1989). Up to Here is the debut studio album by the Canadian rock band the Tragically Hip, released on 5 September 1989 by MCA Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for The Tragically Hip's other songs from Up to Here, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Get Back Again" 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 Back Again" 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.
