From Sweet Tea (2001). Sweet Tea is the 11th studio album by American blues artist Buddy Guy, released in 2001 on Silvertone/Jive label. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '59 Bassman LTD Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Buddy Guy's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.

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