From The Undertones (1979). The Undertones is the 1979 debut album by the Undertones. 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 Undertones' other songs from The Undertones, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "You've Got My Number" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "You've Got My Number" 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.
