Recording notes

From Pawn Shop (2016). Pawn Shop is the debut studio album by American country music duo Brothers Osborne. 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 Brothers Osborne's other songs from Pawn Shop, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

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