Recording notes

From Brand New Man (1991). Brand New Man is the debut studio album by American country music duo Brooks & Dunn. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Brooks & Dunn's other songs from Brand New Man, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Lost and Found" Tone

  1. What guitar did Brooks & Dunn use on "Lost and Found"?

    The guitar on "Lost and Found" (released 1991) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

  2. What amp settings does "Lost and Found" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 3, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5.5, Volume 6. 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.

  3. Can I play "Lost and Found" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Lost and Found" 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.
