From Kentucky (2016). Kentucky is the fifth studio album by American band Black Stone Cherry. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Black Stone Cherry's other songs from Kentucky, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "The Rambler" Tone
What guitar did Black Stone Cherry use on "The Rambler"?
The guitar on "The Rambler" (released 2016) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "The Rambler" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 6, Mid 6, Treble 6, 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 "The Rambler" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "The Rambler" 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.
