From Play.Rock.Music (2012). Play.Rock.Music. is the fifth studio album by Toadies produced and mixed by Chris "Frenchie" Smith at the Bubble studio in Austin, Texas, released on 31 July 2012 by Kirtland. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Custom Shop 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Toadies' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "Get Low" Tone
What guitar did Toadies use on "Get Low"?
The guitar on "Get Low" (released 2012) isn't documented; the Gibson Custom Shop 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "Get Low" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. 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 Low" 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 Low" 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.
