From Someone in Control (2005). Someone in Control is the second studio album by American rock band Trapt, released on September 13, 2005 by Warner Bros. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD MH-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Trapt's other songs from Someone in Control, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Stand Up" Tone
What guitar did Trapt use on "Stand Up"?
The guitar on "Stand Up" (released 2005) isn't documented; the ESP LTD MH-1000 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Stand Up" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7, Bass 6, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 6, Volume 8. 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 "Stand Up" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Stand Up" 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.
