From SZNZ: Summer (2022). SZNZ: Summer is the seventeenth studio album by American rock band Weezer, and the second of four albums in their SZNZ (pronounced "seasons") project, originally designated as EPs. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Special through a Mesa Boogie Mark I Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Weezer's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in E♭ standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), a half step below standard.
Common Questions About the "Thank You and Good Night" Tone
What guitar did Weezer use on "Thank You and Good Night"?
The guitar on "Thank You and Good Night" (released 2022) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Special above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in E♭ Standard (E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Thank You and Good Night" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, 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 "Thank You and Good Night" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Thank You and Good Night" 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.
