From Sound & Color (2015). Sound & Color is the second studio album by American band Alabama Shakes, released on 17 April 2015 by ATO Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Custom through an Orange Tiny Terror, the rig we use for Alabama Shakes' other songs from Sound & Color, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "This Feeling" Tone
What guitar did Alabama Shakes use on "This Feeling"?
The guitar on "This Feeling" (released 2015) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Custom above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "This Feeling" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 4.5, Mid 6, Treble 7, Presence 6, Volume 5.5. 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 "This Feeling" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "This Feeling" 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.
