From Like All Before You (2024). A raw, abrasive rock track with distorted, angular guitars. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Set the amp at a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
Common Questions About the "Square Wave" Tone
What guitar did The Voidz use on "Square Wave"?
The guitar on "Square Wave" (released 2024) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Square Wave" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 5.5, Presence 5, Volume 6.5. 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 "Square Wave" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Square Wave" 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.
