From Play (2008). Play: The Guitar Album is the seventh studio album by American musician Brad Paisley, released on 4 November 2008 by Arista Nashville. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Crook Custom Paisley T through a Dr. Z Maz 18 Jr NR, the rig we use for Brad Paisley's other songs from Play: The Guitar Album, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The guitar on "Les Is More" (released 2008) isn't documented; the Crook Custom Paisley T above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

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