Tone Settings for Remedy by Seether (guitar and amp)

1. Volume

• Set the guitar volume knob to 100% (full up) for maximum signal into your amp or pedals.
• Use the amp’s volume/gain section to manage overall loudness and saturation.

2. Tone

• Set the guitar tone knob close to full for brightness (around 9 or 10).
• Dial in a mid-scooped EQ on the amp: Bass around 6-7, Mids around 4, Treble around 6-7.
• Use high gain amp settings or a distortion pedal for aggressive crunch and sustain.

3. Pickup Selector

• Use the bridge pickup position for tight, aggressive rhythm tones featured in “Remedy.”
• Consider experimenting with middle position (both pickups) for slightly fuller gain if needed.

4. Humbucker or Single Coil Preferred?

• Humbucker pickups are strongly preferred for the heavier sound and lower noise floor.
• Look for high-output humbuckers to replicate Shaun Morgan’s thick distortion tone.

5. Ideal guitar type which is a Electric (Baritone-style)

• Use a baritone electric guitar tuned to a lower pitch (commonly tunings like Drop B for Seether).
• Choose a guitar with a longer scale length (around 27″) to maintain string tension in lower tunings.
• Baritone guitars with dual humbuckers and a fixed bridge offer maximum stability and tone for “Remedy.”

• Gibson Les Paul Standard: Warm humbucker tones ideal for the song’s blues-rock grit
• Fender Stratocaster: Adds brightness and clarity for rhythm and lead versatility
• Marshall DSL40CR Amp: Classic rock tones with great overdrive and clean options
• Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9: Smooth overdrive to push amp tones into bluesy saturation
• Dunlop Cry Baby Wah: Essential for expressive lead work and dynamic control
• Boss DD-8 Digital Delay: Adds subtle depth and ambience without muddying tone
• Pedaltrain Classic 2 Pedalboard: Reliable and spacious for organizing essential pedals
• Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Strings (10-46): Balanced tone and flexibility for bends and sustain
• Planet Waves Instrument Cable: Reliable, high-quality signal path with minimal noise

• Use a warm, clean overdrive tone for the intro and verses.
• Dial back the gain—keep it crunchy but not distorted.
• Use a bridge humbucker pickup for tight rhythm sections.
• Slight mid-scoop on EQ to replicate the 90s Southern rock feel.
• Add light reverb to give space without washing out definition.
• Keep treble controlled to maintain smooth top end on solos.
• Use palm muting and dynamic picking for groove accuracy.
• Compression can help balance picking attack during verses.
• Boost mids slightly during solo for cut-through in the mix.
• Avoid excessive effects—keep the tone organic and guitar-driven.
