From Little Bit of Everything (2008). Little Bit of Everything is the third studio album by the American country singer Billy Currington, released on 14 October 2008 by Mercury Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Billy Currington's other songs from Little Bit of Everything, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "People Are Crazy" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "People Are Crazy" 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.
